According to an Associated Press article, Britt faces charges of eluding the officer, hindering apprehension and obstructing governmental function.
Britt was reportedly driving his blue Porsche at 71 mph in a 50-mph zone. He is said to have driven away from the officer, but was eventually found on a side street walking away from the car. Britt is said to have first denied being in the car, then driving, before finally admitting he was behind the wheel.
Britt faces three criminal charges, but has been released on summons.
This isn't the first time that Britt has been in trouble with the law since being drafted by the Titans from Rutgers in 2009. It isn't the second time, third time, or even fourth time either.
In January 2010, Britt was arrested for three outstanding traffic warrants in New Jersey. He paid the $865 due and was released.
Britt is involved in civil litigation in New Jersey for allegedly not paying a bail bond that he helped get for a friend.
He was also stopped by Nashville police in August during training camp, where he was ticketed for driving without a license because he obtained a photo ID after misplacing his license.
He also was accused, but not charged, with being involved in a bar fight in Nashville this past October.
Britt had a career year last year with 42 receptions for 775 yards and 9 touchdowns, even with missing games due to injury.
Britt is still a young guy (22), so he has plenty of time left to get his life in order. Hopefully, he realizes some of the mistakes he has made in the past and learns from them. He has a chance to be a dominant receiver in the league, standing at 6' 3'' and 215 pounds.
