Former San Diego Padres first-round draft pick Matt Bush, already charged with assaulting Granite Hills High School students during a lacrosse practice, is set to be arraigned Wednesday on DUI and other charges.
Bush, 23, was out on bail on the assault case when he was arrested June 28 and charged with driving under the influence, vandalism, driving on a suspended license and resisting arrest, said Deputy District Attorney Samantha Greene. A judge in El Cajon postponed Bush’s arraignment on the misdemeanor charges until Wednesday so the defendant can show proof he’s in a residential rehabilitation program, the prosecutor said.
In the Feb. 4 assault case, Bush is charged with four counts of misdemeanor battery. A readiness conference is set for July 21.
The Padres designated Bush for assignment the day after the incident at Granite Hills.
Bush, drafted as a pitcher-shortstop, was with the Toronto Blue Jays until a 23-year-old woman in Florida accused him of throwing a baseball past her head and banging on her car window to scare her in March.
Bush, the overall first pick in the 2004 Major League Baseball Draft out of Mission Bay High School, received a signing bonus of $3.15 million.
