Junior guard Brady Morningstar has entered a diversion agreement with the District Attorney’s office in his DUI case, according to court records.
According to the diversion agreement, Morningstar agrees to pay a $500 fine, $298 in court costs and $150 in diversion costs. The agreement also lists special conditions of the agreement. Morningstar agreed to:
—Abstain from the use of alchol or drugs, and submit to blood, breath or urine tests.
—Complete an education course dealing with drug, alcohol and traffic issues (Midwest Victim Impact Program).
—Refrain from driving “in violation of any suspension or restriction” of his license, although the agreement did not indicate that his license would be suspended or restricted as part of the diversion.
Morningstar signed the diversion agreement on Oct. 16 and the District Attorney’s office filed a motion to suspend all proceedings related to the case on Oct. 19. If he adheres to all the terms of the agreement for a period of one year, the charges against him will be dismissed.
Moningstar was arrested on the early morning of Oct. 3 by the Kansas Highway Patrol while he was driving on I-70 just outside of Lawrence. Morningstar was charged with one count of suspicion of DUI and released on a $250 bond. Head coach Bill Self later suspended Morningstar for the team’s first semester games.
Court records indicate the arresting officer observed Morningstar traveling at 78 MPH in a 70 MPH zone and crossing the shoulder line.
The officer detected an odor of alcohol on Morningstar’s breath, who later admitted to “consuming a few beers.” Morningstar completed a field sobrity test, and the officer said each test included an “indication of impairment”.
Morningstar agreed to a preliminary breath alcohol test, which indicated that he had a BAC of .171, more than twice the legal limit. In a breath alcohol test commited shortly thereafter for official evidence, Morningstar was found to have a BAC of .144.
