For a third consecutive summer, Hornets guard P.J. Hairston is facing legal trouble. Hairston was cited near midnight on June 18 for driving with a revoked license, speeding, driving left of center and driving on expired tags. According to the citation, Hairston’s 2015 black Cadillac Escalade was traveling at 51 mph in a 35 mph zone on Toddville Road heading toward Freedom Drive. The tags were expired and his vehicle went more than half its width over the double yellow line for 25-30 yards, according to a Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police officer N.S. Bush in his report. Hairston’s court date is set for July 27 in Mecklenburg County. A spokesman for Hornets did not have an immediate comment but said the team is still gathering information. Hairston’s issues go back to the summer of 2013, when he was arrested for a misdemeanor marijuana possession and driving without a license. Those charges were dismissed after Hairston provided proof of a license and took a drug assessment course. But in that year, Hairston had various off-court issues, some of which cost him his NCAA eligibility at North Carolina and forced him into the NBA Development League. - See more at: http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nba/charlotte-hornets/article26735881.html
