Motorcycle mistake incurs misdemeanor

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Browns tight end Kellen Winslow Jr. was charged Friday with disregarding safety in the motorcycle crash that put his 2005 season in jeopardy.
The misdemeanor, filed by the prosecutor in suburban Westlake, carries a maximum fine of $150 with no jail time. Winslow will be sent a summons to appear in Rocky River Municipal Court, police said.
Winslow tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee when he crashed, two sources within the league told The Associated Press. An injury such as Winslow's typically requires 10 to 12 months of rehabilitation.
Winslow also sustained unspecified internal injuries when his motorcycle hit a curb at 35 mph and he flipped over the handlebars while practicing in a parking lot near his home May 1.
The Browns have Winslow's medical test results but the club cannot disclose the nature of his injuries because it has not received permission from Winslow or his family.
He spent nine days in the Cleveland Clinic before being released last week.
