Former Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Matt Bush, already with a history of alcohol-related legal trouble when he was acquired in 2022, tried to flee the scene of a multivehicle accident Friday in Arlington, Texas, according to CBS News.

Citing police sources, the report indicated that Bush, 38, faces one count of driving while intoxicated, one count of accident involving injury and one count of evading. The Arlington Police Department determined that the vehicle Bush was driving ran a red light, collided with a vehicle and caused a chain reaction that involved two other vehicles. Bush then got out of his car and tried to run away. When he was apprehended, he refused to perform a roadside sobriety test and declined to speak to investigators.

One of the drivers was taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.

Bush came to the Brewers with baggage when he was acquired at the 2022 trade deadline in exchange for utility infielder Mark Mathias and left-handed pitching prospect Antoine Kelly.

The No. 1 overall pick in the 2004 draft had three DUI convictions in his past, the last of which resulted in him receiving a 51-month prison sentence in 2012. In that instance, he was accused of driving under the influence and leaving the scene of a Florida accident that seriously injured a 72-year-old motorcyclist.

He was released from prison in 2015 and signed a minor-league deal with the Rangers, then made the most of his second chance by reaching the big leagues in 2016. When the Brewers acquired him at the 2022 trade deadline, they hoped the maneuver would help soften the blow of a trade that sent ace closer Josh Hader to San Diego.

But he yielded six home runs in 23 innings with the Brewers down the stretch, part of a broader bullpen downturn that contributed to Milwaukee missing the playoffs. When he posted a 9.58 ERA in 12 games in 2023, including a walk-off home run to future Brewers first baseman Carlos Santana, Bush was designated for assignment.

He returned to the Rangers organization briefly on a minor-league deal before his release in 2023.

Mathias was traded to Pittsburgh during 2023 spring training. Kelly, who made the 2022 Futures Game as a member of the Brewers organization, was designated for assignment by the Rangers in 2024 and claimed off waivers by the Rockies.
