Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice found himself in hot water after turning himself into police on Thursday following his alleged involvement in a hit-and-run incident. The records show that Rice was driving a Lamborghini while Theodore Knox, 21, was driving a Corvette on North Central Expressway in Dallas on March 30. The two drivers were reportedly speeding, lost control of their vehicles, and crashed into four other vehicles, resulting in injuries to four people.
Rice, 23, surrendered to the Glenn Heights Police Department before being sent to DeSoto County Jail. Bond was set at $5,000 for each of the eight charges filed against him, including aggravated assault, collision involving serious bodily injury, and collision involving injury.
In a statement on Instagram, Rice took full responsibility for his actions and apologized for his role in the incident. His lawyer, Royce West, confirmed that Rice admitted to Dallas Police that he was involved in the crash.
Despite the legal troubles, Rice had a successful season as one of Patrick Mahomes’ top targets, recording 938 yards receiving and seven touchdowns. He played a key role in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers, becoming a world champion in his rookie season.
The news of Rice’s legal issues comes as a shock to fans and teammates alike, but the talented wide receiver remains hopeful for a resolution. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
