(AP) NEW YORK - Jason Kidd has apologized on Twitter for his arrest on a drunken-driving charge after an accident last week.

Days after signing with the Knicks, Kidd crashed his SUV into a telephone pole in the Hamptons on Sunday, Southampton Town police said. He was treated at a hospital for minor injuries after the 2010 Cadillac Escalade he was driving hit a pole and veered into the woods around 2 a.m.
