[h2]CHP: Tyreke Evans Was Driving Between 120-130 MPH
[/h2]NBA Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans was briefly detained at gunpoint before being cited and released by the California Highway Patrol for reckless driving on Monday.
Authorities said Evans was spotted driving on Interstate 80 near Antelope Road at between 120-130 mph on Monday afternoon by a CHP air unit.
The air unit followed Evans' 2010 Mercedes Benz S550 to a park near Bell Avenue and Burgess Drive, where officers intercepted the vehicle just before 7:00 p.m.
CHP officers performed a felony stop on the vehicle -- approaching the car with guns drawn and handcuffing both Evans and a passenger -- because the sports car had tinted windows and officers could not see inside, authorities said.
Evans was cooperative with officers and was determined not to be under the influence. Authorities cited him for reckless driving and released him.
Officials said Evans will appear in court around Aug. 10 because of his alleged excessive speed.
What does that have anything to do with Tyreke being rookie of the year?
