Broncos tight end Julius Thomas was arrested in August after he failed to appear in Arapahoe County court for a traffic offense.

Thomas, 25, was charged with failing to yield to an emergency vehicle on Jan. 25, according to court records.

He was scheduled to appear in court for the misdemeanor charge on March 21. Thomas did not appear for the hearing.

The Broncos issued a statement Thursday that said: “We were notified of the issue involving Julius Thomas when it occurred on Aug. 28. It was addressed internally and is being resolved.”

According to state records, Thomas was arrested by Arapahoe County Sheriff’s deputies Aug. 28.

Thomas posted the $500 bond the day he was arrested, according to court records.

According to the ticket, Thomas was driving a black, 2007 Toyota when he was pulled over in the 2200 block of South Parker Road in Arapahoe County at 11:45 p.m. He was issued a $70 ticket and $19.50 in fees, plus four points on his driver’s license at that time.

His next court appearance is Sept. 12 at 8:30 a.m.

The “failure to appear” is the same offense that led to the arrest of Broncos linebacker Von Miller on Aug. 11. Court documents show Miller failed to appear for a court hearing on a charge from last October when he was cited for careless driving, driving without a license and no proof of insurance.

Thomas is a third-year tight end and was selected out of Portland State by Denver in the fourth round of the NFL’s 2011 draft. In his first two pro seasons, he appeared in nine games and had one reception for 5 yards.

Thomas, who is 6-foot-5 and 250 pounds, is listed as a starter this year after making 12 receptions for 123 yards during the preseason.

In the Broncos’ preseason opener against the 49ers in San Francisco last month, Thomas led Denver receivers with four catches for 35 yards.
