Derrick Rose pleads guilty to speeding more than 100 m.p.h.

The Loop, Chicago, Ill. —

Chicago Bulls and NBA No. 1 draft pick Derrick Rose pleaded guilty Monday to speeding and was fined $1,000 and placed on court supervision for six months.

"I learn from my mistakes," Rose said after his brief court appearance.

He had been ticketed April 29 going more than 100 m.p.h. on Interstate Highway 88 near Aurora.

Because Rose, 19, was clocked at more than 40 miles over the speed limit, the speeding charge was a Class A misdemeanor. Rose made a "cold plea," meaning that his attorney, Terry Ekl, and Kane County prosecutors did not negotiate a sentence.
