Chris Rodriguez's warrant set aside following court date mishap
The warrant out for Chris Rodriguez’s arrest has been set aside.
According to KSR’s Matt Jones, due to the mishap on Friday that saw Rodriguez’s lawyer fail to appear in court, the Kentucky Football running back will not face further discipline for the miscommunication. Rodriguez was initially arrested on Sunday for careless driving, having no tail lamps, and operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of alcohol. He is facing charges for all three crimes.
According to a Kentucky Football spokesperson, Rodriguez’s lawyer was supposed to go to court Friday on his behalf but did not due to a scheduling snafu, prompting Judge Denotra Gunther to issue an arrest warrant and a $200 fine. Luckily, that is no longer the case.

“We have confirmed with Chris’ attorneys that this was a scheduling mistake in their office,” the spokesperson said. “Chris was specifically advised by his attorneys not to attend because they would attend on his behalf. They are diligently working to get it corrected.”
Jones later reported that people tried to get in touch with Rodriguez’s lawyer all day to no avail. But as expected, the warrant and charge for failure to appear have been dropped.
