Rush apologetic about arrest

Kansas University junior Brandon Rush, who on Thursday was arrested on two outstanding warrants for failure to appear in court on traffic violations, on Friday morning spoke about the matter.

“It was all my fault,” Rush said before practice. “I wasn’t being responsible. Coach (Bill Self) always says take care of our responsibilities. I just got confused on the (court) dates, never showed up on the court date. That’s what happens. I went in there too late.”

He said he showed at court trying to take care of both warrants.

“I was trying to pay both of them. It didn’t work out that way. I was surprised,” he said of his arrest.

He added: “I’m sorry for causing a distraction for our team so we can’t focus on this game ahead of us Saturday (against DePaul).”

Rush will appear in court again on Wednesday.

“I’ve got another court date set up. I plan to attend that one,” he said.
