Artie Burns Says Driving with Suspended License Was 'Misunderstanding'

Alec NathanJul 29, 2017

Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Artie Burns told ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler Saturday his June arrest for driving with a suspended license was a "misunderstanding."

According to Fowler, Burns said "he was still in the process of switching his paperwork and insurance to Pennsylvania, where he's a full-time resident" and cited frequent traffic checks in his native Miami as the reason for the license suspension.

In June, Fowler (via USA Today's Curt Popejoy) reported Burns was pulled over for expired plates and didn't have his driver's license on him.

Andy Slater of 940-AM WINZ added Burns owed more than $1,000 in unpaid traffic tickets.

Burns, 22, is coming off a rookie season in which he tallied three interceptions, 65 total tackles and 13 defended passes.
