An NFL wide receiver has been charged with reckless driving after an officer caught him doing donuts in his orange Hellcat, according to a Florida Highway Patrol report. Byron Pringle, who signed a $6 million contract with the Chicago Bears after four years with the Kansas City Chiefs, was arrested Saturday evening. An officer pulled him over after smelling burnt rubber and observing a cloud of smoke, along with tire tracks on the road “consistent with a vehicle performing a ‘donut,’” the arrest report said. Pringle became “verbally confrontational” after being pulled over, ignoring the officer’s order to exit his 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. A check run on his license revealed it had been suspended in February for “financial responsibility.” The officer also described finding a young child in the backseat of Pringle’s car, whom sources told TMZ was identified as the 28-year-old’s son.
