Dillon Brooks pleads guilty to speeding charge stemming from January citation

Phoenix Suns forward Dillon Brooks pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge on Monday, according to court records.

Brooks was previously cited and released for reckless driving and exceeding the speed limit on Jan. 12. Brooks was pulled over for driving 85 mph in a 45-mph zone just after midnight, hours after he and the Suns played a home game against the Washington Wizards.

Brooks faced Class 2 and Class 3 misdemeanor charges in the case. Court records showed the reckless driving charge was dismissed, and Brooks paid a $500 fine.

Brooks was arrested in Scottsdale for suspicion of driving under the influence on March 6. The arrest happened on Scottsdale Road just south of Thunderbird Road around 1 a.m. He was released from custody around 3:30 a.m.

Arizona Sports’ John Gambadoro reported that Brooks was suspected to be under the influence of marijuana, not alcohol.

The arrest came hours after the Suns played a home game against the New Orleans Pelicans. Brooks did not play in the game as he was recovering from a fractured left hand. Following the incident, Brooks apologized to his Suns teammates and coaches.

Prosecutors filed a criminal complaint against Brooks in September for a misdemeanor DUI charge.
