Brown arrested for speeding

DUBLIN - Twenty-year-old Kwame Brown of Brunswick, the number one pick of the 2001 NBA draft who now plays for Michael Jordan&#39;s team -- the Washington Wizards -- was pulled over Saturday for going 120 miles-per-hour in a 60 miles-per-hour construction zone. <br> <br> According to Sergeant Kirk Hartwell of the Laurens County Sheriff&#39;s Department, Brown was driving a 2002 Mercedes S600. <br> <br> Hartwell said Brown will automatically lose his license because of his age and the excessive speed he was traveling. <br> <br> Hartwell also said if Brown had not willingly pulled over he might have easily outrun his patrol car. Hartwell said Brown&#39;s receipt for the Mercedes was still in the car and it sold for an excess of $129,000. Hartwell said the car could easily top the patrol car&#39;s top speed of about 140 miles-per-hour <br> <br> Brown was drafted on June 28, 2001, and signed a three-year contract for $11.9 million with the Washington Wizards.
