Missouri Freshman Linebacker JJ Bush Arrested on Felony Charge, Suspended Indefinitely

A new 90 mph allegation from prosecutors raises the stakes for the case, putting Missouri’s discipline in sharper focus.

Overview

  • Bush, 18, was arrested in Columbia after a high-speed stop Monday and later booked on aggravated fleeing and careless driving.
  • An officer’s probable cause statement says a 2024 Ford Mustang was moving about 80 mph in a 40 mph zone on East Broadway.
  • The officer wrote that emergency lights were activated and the car came to a stop after roughly 24 seconds of following.
  • A Boone County complaint now alleges travel at 90 mph, a higher figure than the officer’s 80 mph estimate in the report.
  • Missouri coach Eli Drinkwitz suspended Bush indefinitely, and court dockets show he was released on bond before the case filing.
