Missouri's JJ Bush blames car for speeding, arrested for felony aggravated fleeing

According to a probable cause statement by the arresting officer, Bush was driving a 2024 Ford Mustang when the arresting officer witnessed him speeding in excess of the 40 mph speed limit.

It was at this point where the "aggravated fleeing" charge comes in, as the officer estimated that JJ Bush was going around 80 mph, as he also turned on his lights and followed Bush for "24 seconds" before the Missouri linebacker came to a stop.

The report states that the only reason Bush stopped for the officer was because traffic had built up at the upcoming stop light, which is when the conversation with the linebacker began.

"That's just how my car is," JJ Bush told the officer about why he was speeding and going through traffic at a high speed.

He also told the officer that "I f---ed up. Driving crazy," according to the probable cause statement.

Bush was taken to the Columbia Police Department following the incident, and booked on the charges listed above.

Missouri head coach Eli Drinkwitz released the following statement to local reporters.

"We are disappointed in JJ's actions. He is indefinitely suspended from the team as the legal process plays out."
