Jason Kidd, who just signed with the New York Knicks, was arrested on Sunday morning on an alleged drunken driving charge, according to Southampton Town police.

Details are still emerging, but Southampton Town police confirmed that the basketball star was arrested during the midnight shift.

Kidd, 39, was arraigned on a misdemeanor DWI charge on Sunday morning in Southampton Town Justice Court and released on his own recognizance.

Sag Harbor attorney Eddie Burke Jr. said he was on his way to speak with Kidd. "We await further discovery from the district attorney's office," Burke said.

Kidd signed a three-year, $9.5 million deal with the Knicks on Thursday.

Kidd, a long-time NBA point guard, bought a house last year in Water Mill for a reported $5.97 million.

He won a championship with the Dallas Mavericks in 2011. He has also played with the Phoenix Sunsa and New Jersey Nets.

This is not Kidd's first brush with the law. He was arrested and eventually pleaded guilty to a domestic violence charge in Jan. 2001, when he was married to his former wife Joumana. They divorced in 2007.

Kidd is now married Porschla Coleman, a former model.

That's what damn near every car that killed somebody looks like. Christ. This is just bad. Some people don't even realize what they're doing. Justin Blackmon, for instance, he was probably so far gone he didn't realize he was driving. Looks like Kidd may have been the same way. Obviously, these aren't excuses, but don't any of these guys have friends who say, "Dude, you're way too fucked up."
