A North Carolina judge has issued an arrest order for Jen Belichick, daughter-in-law of New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, after she failed to appear in court for a speeding violation. Jen, married to North Carolina Tar Heels football defensive coordinator Steve Belichick, was cited for driving 88 mph in a 70 mph zone on May 21. The court date was set for last Friday, but her absence prompted the arrest order. She now has three options: file a motion to recall the order, hire an attorney, or turn herself in. Jen Belichick has not publicly commented on the situation.
