Freddie Mitchell on his arrest

POSTED: Monday, December 7, 2009, 11:03 AM

Former Eagle Freddie Mitchell, cohosting with Dan Schwartzman from 10 a.m. to noon on 97.5 The Fanatic, led off today's show with ... himself.

He said wasn't thanking his hands; he had to thank his lawyer.

Mitchell spent two hours with the Lower Merion Police yesterday after he was pulled over for speeding in his Maserati and an outstanding warrant was found for his arrest.

FredEx said he did not know he was a wanted man.

He acknowledged on the air that he has not paid child support for his daughter ("little princess"), but "they don't understand."

"When it comes to parenting [mothers] .. have all the rights," he said.

Hear his statement here.

It's been a rotten few months for Mitchell.

In September, a judge took away the barbecue restaurant he owned in Florida.

    Way to go, 97.5. Classy guy it seems you hired right there for the mid-day shift. Ironic it's now when you're killing WIP in the ratings, except, of course, during the AM / midday.

    He is behind on child support. Here is a idea, sell the d.a.m.n. car.

    He is right that women tend to have too many rights on these domestic relations issues. My daughter stays with me for three nights a week, yet I pay as much child support as if I never saw her and didn't a room in my house for her.

    I don't think he bought the Maseratti. I think he is following the Lenny Dykstra financing plan.

    "FredEx said he did not know he was a wanted man." That's the first time anyone's wanted that guy in years. So the guy drives a Maserati and he's not paying his child support? Even worse, he wants sympathy over it? What a moron.
