UPDATE 2
According to UK, Chris Rodriguez’s lawyer was supposed to be in court Friday on Rodriguez’s behalf but did not due to a scheduling error, prompting Judge Denotra Gunther to issue an arrest warrant and a $200 fine.
UK Statement on Chris Rodriguez: “We have confirmed the issue was a scheduling mistake in Chris’ attorney’s office. They are diligently working to get it corrected. The student-athlete was not required to attend. “

So for now, it appears Rodriguez did nothing wrong in terms of today’s issue.
