BARNSTABLE, Mass. (CBS/AP) Gisele Bundchen, supermodel and wife of New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady, was stopped for speeding in Cape Cod over the weekend and given a verbal warning by a state trooper.

State police spokesman David Procopio says the 31-year-old Brazilian-born model was driving about 70 mph in a 55 mph zone when she was stopped Saturday.

Procopio says two children were in the Cadillac sport utility vehicle, properly fastened in car seats. Bundchen and Brady have a son, who was born in 2009, and Brady has an older son with actress Bridget Moynahan.

The trooper said he reminded Bundchen that the speed limit was 55 mph (88 kph), and let her go on her way.

Procopio says Bundchen did not get any special treatment. The same trooper gave four other drivers verbal warnings that afternoon. He gave 20 others written citations, but those drivers committed other violations in addition to speeding.
