Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt was charged with a felony for eluding police a police officer, lying to a police officer, apprehension and obstructing governmental function following a stop back in April. Eluding police is a third degree felony.
The good news for Britt is that the felony charge has been downgraded to a lesser offense after a New Jersey prosecutors office reviewed his case. The lesser charges will likely keep him out of a jail cell.
Britt will now face three disorderly persons charges in addition to motor vehicle charges. He could still face fines and possible suspension of his drivers license.
