UW-Madison basketball player Trevon Hughes pleaded not guilty in court Monday morning to two traffic violations.
Hughes, 21, was charged with failure to stop at a stop sign and with his second offense of operating a motor vehicle without a driver's license. The stop sign infraction usually costs $160 or less, but the other charge could leave Hughes with a fine of up to $300 and up to 30 days in jail.
Both tickets were issued Feb. 24 at the intersection of Observatory Drive and Babcock Drive when a UW Police Department officer says he saw Hughes run the stop sign at the intersection.
The Badgers' starting point guard received a previous ticket for driving without a license in 2006.
Hughes was released on a signature bond after the court appearance.
The court case was held only a day after the Badger basketball team lost in the second round of the NCAA Tournament to Xavier.
