Atty calls warrant for Jet WR’s arrest crazy

- BY ARI GILBERG and MANISH MEHTA

ROBBY ANDERSON just continues to catch trouble.

A warrant has been issued for Anderson’s arrest after he and his lawyer failed to appear in a Florida court on Tuesday, according to Broward County court records.

Anderson was scheduled to appear for his arraignmen­t stemming from a January arrest for reckless driving. Anderson’s lawyer, Ed O’Donnell, told The News he and Anderson received “no notice” regarding a court date and described the warrant as “craziness.”

“I received no notice,” Anderson’s attorney, Ed O’Donnell, told the Daily News Wednesday night. “Robby received no notice. And the bondsman received no notice. A written plea of Not Guilty was filed on January 29th. Since that date, we’ve never gotten any notice to be in court for this matter. I intend to take care of this (Thursday)…. First I got to figure out where it is. I didn’t even know who issued the warrant for non-appearance.”

“Robby did not do anything wrong,” O’Donnell added. “It’s not like he just said, ‘No, I’m not going to court.’ Believe me. I didn’t go to court, either. Because nobody knew to be there.”

The receiver was arrested on Jan. 19 in Sunrise, Fla. after allegedly driving 105 mph in a 45mph zone and running two red lights while speeding away from police. After being apprehende­d, Anderson allegedly “stated that when he got out he was going to find (the officer’s) wife, f--k her and n-t in her eye,” according to the police report.
