BAYONNE, N.J. -- Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kenny Britt was arrested in his hometown of Bayonne, N.J., on Tuesday after an officer reported seeing him speeding.

Britt, 22, faces charges of eluding the officer, hindering apprehension and obstructing governmental function, Bayonne Police Chief Robert Kubert said.

Britt was driving his blue Porsche at 71 mph in a 50-mph zone Tuesday afternoon, according to Kubert, who said Britt drove away from the officer and was eventually found on a side street walking away from the car. Kubert said Britt first denied being in the car, then denied driving and then finally admitted he was behind the wheel.

Police said a passenger in the vehicle with Britt also faces three criminal charges. Both men have been released on summonses.

The agency that represents Britt said Tuesday it was not prepared to comment on his arrest. Titans spokesman Robbie Bohren said only that the team was aware of the reports.
