Assault Charges Against Chiefs' Xavier Worthy Dropped Following Investigation

The Williamson County District Attorney declined to pursue charges against the NFL star after conflicting witness accounts emerged.

  • Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday in Texas on a felony domestic violence charge involving allegations of impeding a household member's breathing.
  • The Williamson County District Attorney announced Saturday that the case was being declined due to contradictory witness testimonies and insufficient evidence, though the investigation remains ongoing.
  • Worthy's attorneys stated the incident stemmed from a dispute with a woman asked to leave his residence, alleging she caused property damage and injured Worthy, who has opted not to press charges against her.
  • The Chiefs organization acknowledged the situation, stating they are gathering information, while the NFL has yet to comment on potential disciplinary actions under its Personal Conduct Policy.
  • In response to the uncertainty, the Chiefs signed wide receiver Marquise 'Hollywood' Brown to a one-year deal, reportedly to bolster roster depth as the situation unfolds.
