JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri State Representative LaKeySha Bosley was arrested Monday for an outstanding warrant related to a speeding ticket.

Bosley was arrested in Jefferson City Monday night and was held at the Cole County jail. She was released just before midnight.

Bosley is a Democrat who represents parts of St. Louis in the Missouri State House of Representatives.

In a statement, Bosley said she was recently made aware of old warrants and thought she had addressed them. The full statement is as follows:

“After recently being made aware of old warrants related to a traffic citation, I took immediate steps to have them resolved and believed they had been. I am now working to make sure all matters related to this situation are settled to the satisfaction of the relevant legal authorities. Elected officials are rightly held to a high standard of conduct, and I owe it to my constituents to make sure [I] obtain and exceed that.”
