Yesterday we reported that the Houston Rockets superstar’s license was suspended due to 10 different red light violations. His rep released a statement and is pointing the finger at Howard’s brother. Hit the jump for details.
Via TMZ:
Dwight Howard says he was NOT behind the wheel when his car blew through a red light in Florida back in April … telling TMZ Sports the culprit was his BROTHER.
We broke the story … Howard’s license was suspended in FL after officials say he ran a red and never paid the fine. Records also show Howard ran 9 MORE reds in 2012.
But Dwight’s rep tells us they can explain the April incident — his BROTHER was driving the car at the time. Dwight was in Houston playing the Spurs.
In fact, records now show the fine has been paid (after our story went up) and his license has been reinstated. Total cost to Dwight — $345.
We asked about the other 9 violations … but Dwight’s people told us they’re not sure who was driving the car back then.
Either way — stop for red lights, people.
