Michael DeMocker, The Times-PicayuneJonathan Vilma will contest the reckless driving charge he received Friday, according to his agent.
Jonathan Vilma plans to challenge the charges of reckless driving and resisting arrest that were brought against him after he was arrested on Friday afternoon in Miami, according to his agent Mitchell Frankel.
According to reports out of Miami, the police report said Vilma was speeding in and out of traffic, ran a red light and became belligerent with officers. He was arrested and booked in Miami-Dade County Jail, and he was later released on bond.

"When it occurred, he didn't know why he was pulled over. Clearly he's going to challenge the charges, and he doesn't agree with them," said Frankel, who said the incident occurred around 3 p.m. and that no alcohol, drugs or firearms were involved.

Saints spokesman Greg Bensel said the team is aware of the incident and also said that no alcohol was involved.
Vilma was not reached for comment.

"Jonathan to me is one of the most responsible and intelligent professional athletes I've been around, and I've been in this business 26 years," Frankel said. "And the allegations against Jonathan, from my standpoint, are just not believable."
