Judge Recalls Arrest Order for Belichick Daughter‑in‑Law

Her attorney successfully moved to remove the failure-to-appear and pause enforcement while the underlying misdemeanor speeding case is set for a September disposition hearing.

Overview

  • A Brunswick County judge signed an order on Wednesday recalling the July arrest order for Jennifer Schmitt Belichick after her lawyer filed a motion to remove the failure-to-appear.
  • The motion, filed by attorney Alex Kintner, said he had been retained after the missed hearing and the court granted a new disposition date of Sept. 25, 2026.
  • The arrest order originated from a May 21 traffic stop in which a North Carolina State Highway Patrol trooper cited Belichick for alleged misdemeanor speeding after recording 88 mph in a 70 mph zone.
  • Belichick posted on Instagram that she had hired an attorney and was not taken into custody at any point while the arrest order was active and later recalled.
  • Under North Carolina rules cited in court records, driving more than 15 mph over the limit or exceeding 80 mph can elevate a citation to a criminal misdemeanor that requires an in‑court appearance and can lead to an arrest order if missed.
