Venus and Serena Williams' father, Richard Williams, ticketed speeding even though he is not supposed to be driving...
From The Sun
SERENA Williams' elderly father - who had been warned by a doctor not to get behind the wheel - has been caught speeding and slapped with a fine.
Richard Williams, known as "King Richard", was pulled over in a new silver Volkswagen truck by police in Palm Beach, Florida on July 12.
According to new court documents, he was doing 44mph in a 35mph zone which was clocked by a police laser gun.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to Richard's family for comment.
The traffic infraction is costing him $131, but he will not have to appear in court, the filing states.
It comes after his recent trouble preparing for proceedings before he called off his divorce.
Serena and Venus's dad has reunited with his estranged wife Lakeisha, 45, and they have saved their Florida home, as she managed to pay off $436,000 in debt.
It is not known who fronted the bill, but Richard's son Chavoita LeSane insists it wasn't his father.
The property is where Serena and Venus grew up and trained with their dad before coming international sporting stars.
Richard filed for divorce from Lakeisha back in 2017 , seven years after tying the knot the former stripper.
