Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Arrested in Texas on Domestic Assault Charge
Kansas City, MO – March 8, 2025 – Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested late Friday night in Williamson County, Texas, on a felony charge of assaulting a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation. The 21-year-old remains in custody as local authorities continue their investigation.
Details of the Arrest
According to police reports, Worthy was taken into custody following an alleged domestic incident. Authorities have not yet released the name of the alleged victim or further details about the circumstances leading to the arrest. However, Texas law classifies the charge as a serious felony offense, which could carry significant legal consequences.
Worthy is currently being held in the Williamson County Jail without bail as he awaits an initial court appearance. If convicted, he could face jail time, probation, or other legal penalties.
Chiefs and NFL Response
The Kansas City Chiefs have acknowledged the arrest but have not issued a formal statement on Worthy’s status with the team. The organization is reportedly gathering more information before making any decisions regarding his future.
The NFL’s Personal Conduct Policy strictly prohibits acts of domestic violence and could lead to disciplinary action, including fines or suspensions, regardless of the outcome of the legal case. The league is expected to launch its own investigation into the matter.
Xavier Worthy’s Career and Background
Worthy, a standout wide receiver from the University of Texas, was selected 28th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Chiefs. He had an impressive rookie season, recording 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns. His performance helped Kansas City reach the Super Bowl, where he posted 157 receiving yards and two touchdowns in their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
This is the second year in a row that a Chiefs rookie receiver has faced legal trouble in Texas. In 2024, Rashee Rice was involved in a street-racing crash in Dallas, which resulted in legal action.
What’s Next?
Worthy’s legal proceedings are expected to unfold in the coming days, and both the Chiefs and the NFL will closely monitor developments. His status with the team and potential disciplinary actions will likely depend on the outcome of the legal process.
For now, Worthy remains in custody as authorities continue their investigation. More details are expected to emerge as the case progresses.
