Boone County prosecuting attorney Roger Johnson announced that two criminal charges against Mizzou football freshman JJ Bush were dropped Wednesday.
He confirmed the information to KOMU.
Bush faced a Class D felony charge of aggravated fleeing a stop or detention of a motor vehicle and a Class B misdemeanor of careless and imprudent driving after the arresting officer observed Bush traveling “approximately 80 mph” Monday on East Broadway. He was arrested before being bonded out later Tuesday.
While the charges were dropped, Johnson told KOMU that he expects the charges to be refiled in some capacity.
Bush was suspended from the Tigers indefinitely following the arrest. The four-star linebacker is originally from Theodore, Alabama, and committed to Mizzou on Oct. 3.
