Warrant issued for 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk after viral speeding video

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Santa Clara County District Attorney's office issued a warrant for the arrest of San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk on a misdemeanor charge of exhibition of speeding.

The warrant is in reference to video Aiyuk posted to YouTube in December in which he appears to tape himself from the driver's seat going well over the posted 40 miles per hour speed limit on a road that runs past Levi's Stadium, the DA's office confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.

A few days after posting the video, Aiyuk apologized for posting the video of himself driving a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing on Tasman Drive, just outside of the Niners' home field.

"Sorry ya'll, my car content won't come with speeding anymore," Aiyuk wrote in a post to YouTube. "Was praying with my son tonight and wouldn't want anybody else to miss out on an opportunity to do the same with their loved ones! My apologies."

Following the incident, the Santa Clara Police Department indicated it would investigate whether any criminal charges would be filed with the case being forwarded to the DA's office on Jan. 15.

The California Post first reported the warrant being issued.
