JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — A Missouri state lawmaker says she takes full responsibility for not showing up to court hearings for moving violations, which led to her arrest this week. St. Louis Democratic Rep. LaKeySha Bosley was arrested Monday after a Jefferson City police officer pulled her over and discovered a warrant for her arrest. She was released Monday after posting $300 bail. The warrant was for a no-show at hearings over a speeding ticket she received last year in southeastern Missouri. She has had several warrants against her for not appearing at hearings since 2016. Two warrants against her have been recalled.
