Giants quarterback Kyle Lauletta has a history of dangerous driving, according to records uncovered by NJ Advance Media and a person with knowledge of the Weehawken police department's concerns about his driving.

Lauletta was arrested and charged Tuesday morning with a third-degree offense of eluding police as well as obstructing justice and resisting arrest after police say he nearly ran down a police officer in Weehawken. He also was charged with multiple motor vehicle violations, police said.

Giants coach Pat Shurmur called the allegations "disappointing" and "disturbing," but records show New Jersey is the third state where Lauletta has received a vehicle summons in the past two years.

While starting at quarterback for the University of Richmond, Lauletta was charged with reckless driving for driving in Fairfax County, Va. on Jan. 11, 2017, court documents show. He was clocked driving 84 miles per hour in a 55 mile-per-hour zone.

Lauletta plead guilty to an amended charge of failure to obey a highway sign. He paid a $150 fine.

Since then, Lauletta has been charged twice with speeding, once in Virginia and once in Florida. A May 2017 speeding charge — 64 miles per hour in a 45 mile-per-hour zone — was amended under Virginia law to a misdemeanor for general use of defective equipment operated on a highway and resulted in a fine of $114.

In Florida, records show, he was ticketed for driving a 2018 Nissan at 59 miles per hour in a 50 mile-per-hour zone -- while training at IMG Academy before the NFL Combine, 10 weeks before he was drafted by the Giants. He paid a $131 fine.

On his way to Giants practice at 8 a.m. Tuesday, Lauletta was seen driving his 2017 Jaguar dangerously in the high-traffic area of the Pleasant Avenue approach to Route 495 West, Weehawken police said. He was in the wrong lane but attempted to make an illegal right turn anyway, despite instructions by an officer to stay in his marked lane, police said.

Lauletta continued toward Route 495, nearly striking an officer before he was stopped at the end of an on-ramp, police said. Lauletta then refused requests to produce his license, registration and insurance and exit his vehicle, according to a news release by police.

Lauletta was involved in a similar incident in the same location on Monday, police said. He was mailed summonses for the Monday incident. Police said they did not stop his vehicle at the scene.

A person with knowledge of the police's concerns about Lauletta's driving told NJ Advance Media the Jaguar that Lauletta was driving has been spotted in different areas of Weehawken driving fast and recklessly before the incidents this week. The person, who was not authorized to speak publicly, requested anonymity.

The 23-year-old rookie quarterback appeared to be in line to make his NFL debut sometime in the final eight games of the season, perhaps even replacing two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning as the starter with the team off to a miserable 1-7 start.

Could he go from starter to suspension because of his driving record?

Shurmur did not rule out the possibility during a WFAN radio interview but promised "there will be consequences" and "this is not going to be taken lightly."
