It was a bad day all around for Jalen Rose on Wednesday.
Less than nine hours after leaving a courthouse where he had been sentenced to 20 days in jail for drunken driving, Rose ran afoul of the law again, authorities said Thursday.
Clawson Police Chief Harry Anderson said Rose, 38, was stopped and ticketed for speeding on Main Street, just north of 14 Mile in Clawson, about 8:47 p.m. Wednesday.
“He was stopped heading south on Main — right in front of the Police Department — at 46 miles an hour in a 25-mile zone,” Anderson said. “There were no other violations or problems related to the stop and he was ticketed for going 10 over the speed limit and allowed to go on his way.”
The speeding offense is the equivalent of a civil infraction, said Rose’s attorney, James Burdick.
It will have no bearing on the drunken driving case and is not considered a violation of his probation, the attorney said.
Shortly before noon Wednesday, Rose, a former NBA basketball player who starred at the University of Michigan and Detroit Southwestern High, was sentenced in Bloomfield Hills District Court for a March 11 incident in which he drove his car off a snowy road in West Bloomfield.
Rose will be on probation for 12 months, during which time he must report to a probation officer and attend alcohol awareness counseling, including an alcohol impact group made up of those whose families have been damaged by drunken drivers.
In the March incident, Rose, who said he had consumed six martinis, was found to have a blood-alcohol level of .12, well over the .08 limit at which a motorist is determined drunk in Michigan.
