APRIL 11: Rice has turned himself in, Lopez reports. The Chiefs wide receiver was moved to the DeSoto (Texas) Jail, posting a combined bond of $40K. All eight of Rice’s charges are felony counts. Additionally, SMU suspended the driver of the other vehicle in this accident — Knox — earlier Thursday.
APRIL 10: Rashee Rice‘s legal situation stemming from a hit-and-run incident in Dallas has seen a notable but expected development. The second-year Chiefs receiver is the subject of an arrest warrant, WFAA’s Rebecca Lopez and Paul Livengood report. 
Rice is facing a total of eight charges, per the warrant: six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault. The report indicates Rice now has one day to turn himself in to police.
The 23-year-old was one of two people behind the wheel when a Lamborghini SUV and a Corvette lost control the night of March 30. The drivers were believed to be racing, and they fled the scene immediately after the crash. 10.8 grams of marijuana was found in Rice’s vehicle after the crash, per a separate WFAA report. That amount would lead to a Class B misdemeanor charge in Texas. The latter report adds that all occupants (six in total, between the two vehicles) fled the scene of the crash.
Rice has since retained legal counsel, and he has accepted responsibility for his role in the crash (which caused two of its victims to be hospitalized). Rice is also leasing the Corvette, which was being driven at the time by Theodore Knox. The latter now faces the same charges as Rice, per the Dallas Police Department. Knox is listed on SMU’s football roster; Rice spent his four-year college career with the Mustangs.
Rice’s attorney acknowledged last week that he and his client expected charges to be laid in this situation. He added the latter intends to cover the expenses facing the victims of the crash. Rice has publicly stated he will cooperate with authorities in their investigation, and doing so will now include surrendering himself to police in the immediate future.
Kansas City endured plenty of struggles in the receiving corps last season, but Rice had a productive rookie season with 938 yards and seven touchdowns on 79 receptions. He added another 26 catches and one score during the team’s run to a second straight Super Bowl, positioning himself as a key figure in the team’s offense for 2024 and beyond. The Chiefs signed Marquise Brown in free agency, but the team could make further additions during the upcoming draft.
The NFL indicated (via Mark Maske of the Washington Post) the league continues to monitor the Rice situation. Legal action is not required for fines or suspensions to be handed down, but it would not come as a surprise if the league elected to await further developments now that formal charges are in place.
Well this is going south real fast, faster than his Lamborghini
COMMENTS OPEN…….. for now
While I’m also surprised, is that your only comment or are you going to take advantage of the opportunity?
I’ve no further comment on the matter….
My man!
Oh snap
“ He added the latter intends to cover the expenses facing the victims of the crash.”
I don’t think that’s a choice he gets to make. He’s going to have to pay whether he wants to or intends to or not.
Not true. This is all covered by insurance.
Insurance doesn’t cover when you illegally street race, you have drugs in your system, and you flee the scene.
Depends on your insurance lol
No insurance is paying for your stuff when you’re going to face criminal charges and you put people in the hospital breaking about half a dozen laws
People have a funny way of taking what is given to them and walking away with it. When insurance companies and investigations get involved, things have to be proven, court fees paid, years of litigation, and let’s not forget lawyer fee’s.
Most of the time if someone is offered $10,000 to walk away, or a $50,000 settlement that will pocket $8,000 …. Take the money and run.
Not always. Have to read the fine print.
For the kiddos out there, you can be under the influence, hurt/maim a bunch of people and hide at your lawyer’s office until you can work your toxicity down.
Not that I ever had to do this cuz I’m not an idiot, but in Florida, when I was in high school my friends lawyer parents always told us, if you can leave, do so and leave your license under the windshield wiper. And go anywhere but the address listed on the ID, for as long as it takes to sober up. It’s not the right or noble thing to do at all, but it is a loophole to use, not sure if that loophole has been closed cuz I don’t live there anymore.
What a weird thing
@drty, yes and there is also another terrible one which involves throwing your keys out and taking a drink in front of cop, but thats playing with fire and better to just not be stupid and drink and drive.
I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that the drinking in front of the cop will absolutely not work. Please do not try that.
How high/wasted do you need to be to leave the scene of an accident and not take your drugs with you. SMH.
Take them? You got to get someone to carry them for you!
Of course. But if you saw the video they had bags with them. So how high/dumb do you have to be to forget the drugs?
He also left a $16,500 check in the car and credit cards!
I will bet Britt Reid wishes he had playmaking speed. Move the team to Dallas already. That community knows how to handle this kind of stuff.
Since the NFL openly tests players for ‘steroids after a monster game, do they do the same for those involved in crime?
I think the NFL conducts random tests during the season but trying to keep track of players during the off season would be too impractical to conduct tests. Goodell clearly considers sports betting a crime so I wonder if he orders a drug test on everyone who visits Draft Kings or Fan Duel?
Why do all of these idiot football players insist upon taking their weed with them in their vehicles where ever they go?
Can they not go 15 minutes with smoking it?
They are most likely going some place where there already is pot to smoke or visiting someone who has weed.
Why take the chance of being stopped and charged with possession of pot on top of a traffic violation?
It just makes no sense to me.
“Can they not go 15 minutes with smoking it?”
No
Or…at least drive the speed limit, stay in your lane, and obey all traffic signals/signs. Also, do NOT drive a red Lamborghini… you’re just asking to get pulled over!
Mixing weed with street racing is stupid anyways.
He should have tried street racing with some Coke and a smile.
You talking about the coke from a can/bottle or the stuff on a little mirror chopped up all nice with a credit card?
Rice is now going to face accountability for his recklessness. This is great news as 23 year old knucklehead football “stars” who act like dumbasses need to realize there are consequences for their actions. I hope he gets prison time so he’ll have plenty of time to understand what he lost due to his stupidity!!
I don’t think people should have to be exemplary role models.
But in a leadership position, at least be a decent person.
To take all these followers, college players, whoever, rental cars to race (not your own to f up) let them drive, fill the cars up, smole it up, race causing wrecks. teach them all to leave the scene. Maybe they could have helped? What if someone was injures? Leave evidence. Hire a lawyer that is also a government official to protect you.
Is there anything righteous this guy has done to teach his friends.
I’ve been told that what he did was no more serious than failing to use a turn signal.
So, I guess, he could try to argue that.
Weren’t you the guy that wanted people charged with attempted murder if they get into car accidents?
Get. Into. Car. Accidents.
Yes, that’s what happened here, right?
Innocent fender bender. Poor guy. Why did all of these mean people get in his way when he was just trying to have some fun, right?
K so you were the guy that wants people charged with attempted murder if they get into car accidents.
Might wanna sit this one out man.
Your first post was a bit weird like you let someone get under your skin and your second post is even weirder talking about things no one said.
His first message was referencing the conversations he’s had where people have argued that what he did was nothing more than a minor traffic infraction.
His second post was obviously sarcasm because you didn’t understand the first…
Rule # 1 of the net
Don’t let people get under your skin.
Rule # 2 of the net
Posting weird things nobody said doesn’t make you correct in what you say. Just makes you look stupid and crazy like you’re having an argument with yourself.
No one said “rice = Innocent fender bender. Poor guy.“
And no one said “ A drunken race at 120 mph on a busy highway = garden variety car accident in no rational mind.”
That’s just the ramblings of someone who is deflecting from being called out cause they posted something insanely stupid as change laws to charge people that get into accidents with attempted murder.
Get. Into. Car. Accidents.
Did you see where he was charged with aggravated assault?
Have you asked yourself why you feel the need to minimize and, thus, defend his actions?
A drunken race at 120 mph on a busy highway = garden variety car accident in no rational mind.
I did see
I also saw where you want laws changed so people are charged with attempted murder if they get into accidents.
Again. Saying things no one said. No one said they were the same in this thread. But there you go again posting silly comparisons you’re making up in your own head.
Get. Into. Car. Accidents.
I’d point out that you literally keep repeating it and then claim that no one said it, but…I’m starting to think this isn’t a dubious arguing technique, this is just your ceiling.
Did Rashee Rice not get into a car accident driving recklessly?
The definition of a car accident is an incident where a motor vehicle collides with another object. These collisions could involve fixed objects like trees or buildings, as well as other motor vehicles. Car accidents are as common as they are devastating.

The definition of a car accident is an event where two or more vehicles collide, or a motorist crashes into a pedestrian or object. In both situations, a car accident can result in serious injuries or death.

Kept repeating what happened?
“ I’d point out that you literally keep repeating it and then claim that no one said it”
Yes rashee rice was involved in a car accident
Yes people get into car accidents
Somehow your last 2 remaining brain cells seem to interpret that as a minor infraction such as fender benders or garden variety car accidents. Idk why cause no one said that but that’s how your simple mind low iq self seems to interpret “gets into car accidents”
You’re literally applying your own take on things I say, not things I actually said
and then getting angry cause you don’t like your own interpretation which is both hilarious and pathetic.
Again you’re having an argument with yourself and losing an argument with yourself. That’s pretty impressive.
I’m content to let your incoherent argument here stand as my counter.
Perhaps more Googling?
Those last 2 brain cells of yours really struggling tonight huh?
Rice was charged with aggravated assault.
If you don’t understand the difference between what he did and a car accident, you are free to continue talking about brain cells all you like.
That’s cool he was charged with aggregated assault. Which occurred from…….him getting into a car accident.
Again. You seem think car accident is a minor thing. Idk why you think that but you obviously do. Maybe the word accident instead of crash collision? Even though car accidents car crashes car collisions are synonymous in usage.
Already defined what a car accident is for you legally speaking and your retort was a childish one similar to kids saying that’s stupid. Yeah. That’s usually how a toddler reacts when confronted with facts that prove their ideas wrong. It’s ok though. Give those 2 brain cells enough time they’ll figure it out I’m sure. God willing.
So, that’s a “no, I cannot process the difference between what Rice did that led to him being charged with aggravated assault and a normal car accident, even though the part where most people who get into car accidents do NOT get charged with aggravated assault should clue me in”, then?
K.
There you go again
“normal car accident”
“Garden variety car accident “
“Fender bender”
Mind showing me where I said those things? Oh wait you won’t be able to cause I didn’t.
Adding words in front of “car accident” is you adding your own ideas lmao. And you’re getting upset at your own ideas. That really is sad.
Rice is getting what he deserved. He drove recklessly and got into a car accident / car accidents and people were hurt cause of it.
Yup that was him
He wanted people charged with attempted murder if they “ Knowingly and willingly engaging in conduct that can result in the easily foreseeable deaths of others.”
So things like speeding, failure to obey traffic laws, distracted driving, pretty much any reckless driving behavior he wants you charged with attempted murder regardless if an accident happens or not mind you.
Just if you engage in behavior that “knowingly willingly and easily engage in behavior that can easily cause foreseeable death”.
Page refreshed before I could finish
So things like speeding, driving during storms, failure to obey traffic laws, distracted driving pretty much any form of reckless driving
he’d want you charged with attempted murder, even if you don’t get into an accident mind you.
Just if you’re engaging in a behavior while driving that could easily kill someone (other driver(s), passenger(s), pedestrian(s)
He’d want you charged with attempted murder just for engaging in the behavior if “you’re knowing and willingly engaging in conduct that can result in easily foreseeable death of others”.
New name with both emotional investment and all the (familiarly garbled) details.
Not too obvious, right?
“People that disagree with me must be the same account”
Lmao. No you’re just an idiot. You were in the last thread. This thread. Pretty much your entire natural born life.
You say stupid thing. People tell you that you’re saying stupid things. And you just keep saying stupid things.
I’m just here for the laughs at your expense really.
But totally. Everyone that disagrees with you is the same account. Go with that. Makes you sound real smart homer.

Also, I told you many times specifically that I meant nothing of the sort, and meant actions like Rice’s (which were in fact charged as aggrevated assault) but you just keep strawmanning yourself into oblivion, so be it.
He’s going to jail. As he should.
And you can defend him out of your own guilt all you like. Enjoy.
“They’re totally the same account!”
Yeah everyone that disagrees with you on the internet cause you say dumb stuff is the same person every time. Nailed it.
And instead of saying sorry for saying dumb stuff you just say more dumb stuff.
And when you get called out on dumb stuff you say you act like a child and just throw tantrums. Two entire threads of you throwing tantrums cause people disagree with you. Like how did your parents fail this miserably at raising you?
Knew it. He’s coco for coco puffs.
Immediate future sounds like an oxymoron
Don’t drop the soap
… No Diddy
Hate that it happened but since it did – glad it was a Chief!
Jail time for sure… This is not a whole lot better than the Henry Ruggs incident. The fact that no one was killed is not that relevant. He will be suspended until the case is finished so best is to plead guilty and hope his lawyer can plea bargain to a one year sentence. The civil suits that are sure to follow will be staggering.
Bro gonna get a fast n furious franchise.
Too late to star in the Ford vs Ferrari movie but we might see Rashee make a cameo appearance if there is a Chevy vs Lamborghini movie.
I can’t believe he had marijuana on him, didn’t see that part coming.
How in the world can you not see that coming ? Have you been under a rock for 30 years ?
How in the world can you not see the sarcasm? Have you been under a rock for 30 years ?
How many more Chiefs players/staff getting into trouble with the law will it need to take for people to realize how toxic the locker room and offices are? Rice, Charles Omenihu, Justyn Ross, Britt Reid, Kareem Hunt, Tyreek Hill, Frank Clark, the list goes on and on. Not to mention, multiple Hunt family members have histories of sexual and domestic assault. There’s zero accountability in that organization. People wonder why the general public doesn’t like the Chiefs anymore – its not because of their winning games. Too bad the NFL will never step in like other leagues do in these situations. Clark Hunt is one of the worst owners in the NFL, he should be forced out.
Wait till you hear about criminal history of players and the
Raiders
Cowboys
Bengals
That’s old news on the Bengals … they haven’t had issues since Marvin Lewis was there
History reflects that money provides a sense of power which generates an air of invincibility which in turn influences the ‘legal system’ to turn blurred vision on transgressions and undesirable actions of those wanting ‘favor’ of the wealthy. Integrity, honesty and righteous behavior can vanish in the realm of golden tributes!
And the Chiefs brag about being “World Champions”. Murica, F@&k Yeah!
KC Chiefs aka The Longest Yard
Mean Machine! Mean Machine! Mean Machine! Mean Machine!
Check and see if he’s going to fund his ‘friends’ legal team as well as those injured or ‘traumatized’ by this event
Weed make you drive to slower than normal not fast I guess he didn’t get a chance to smoke it
People assign their own experiences to others frequently, which admittedly makes sense. But I wouldn’t say that that’s a for sure thing completely in every case. Alcohol occasionally influences drivers to speed, occasionally it influences drivers to drive slow. Generally , of course, we expect marijuana to have that effect, but don’t be married to that as being true.
The really harmful thing that both of those drugs (and many others) do in regards to driving is to slow reaction times. Normally it takes the average person 1.2 seconds to react in traffic, though various studies suggest similar but different times. In any case, THC and alcohol slow that down, that effect increasing as the concentration of the drug increases. This is all pretty obvious, of course. The speeding is dangerous (driving too slowly can be, as well, though that’s often not thought of as such), but the impaired reactions are really the most dangerous part of being under the influence.
I’m taking bets, -500 he gets to play this year
He’ll get to play the “don’t drop the soap” game in a prison shower. The Chiefs already have a better replacement in Marquise Brown so they can wave bye bye.
The guy had the world on a string and lost it all because he wanted to race…stupid is the only way to say this…he is very fortunate that nobody was killed
