NEW YORK -- New York Knicks point guard Jason Kidd was arrested on a drunken-driving charge after police said he crashed his sport utility vehicle into a telephone pole in the Hamptons on Sunday, days after signing with the Knicks.

Treated for minor injuries, Kidd, 39, was arraigned on a misdemeanor driving-while-intoxicated charge and released without bail, police said. His sport utility vehicle hit a pole and veered into the woods, police said.
