Rays Pitcher Held On $1M Bail After DUI Wreck

((HT: WBBH-TV Ft Myers))

The HQ is under the impression that Tampa Rays pitcher Matt Bush is in deep doo-doo after, allegedly, driving under the influence and running into a 72-year-old Floridian, Tony Tufano, as he was driving a motorcycle on the streets of Port Charlotte, Florida.

Bush is being held on multiple charges: some DUI-related and some for leaving the scene of an accident. Bush apparently, did this while he was driving on a suspended license as well...

The Florida Highway Patrol says Bush kept driving after hitting Tufano. Bush remembers "hitting a tree" before the accident involving Trufano, but doesn't recall anything about the accident.

Bush's attorney, Russell Kirshy, said Bush would probably enter rehab once he makes bond. Kirshy said, "We hope and pray the victim is OK and we hope and pray we can get Matt back on track."

Here's the latest...


The Tufano family spoke to the folks at WINK-TV in Ft Myers as well...

Bush's arraignment is set for late May...
