Chiefs Receiver Xavier Worthy Arrested on Domestic Assault Charge

The 21-year-old rookie, accused of assaulting a household member, faces a third-degree felony charge in Texas.

Xavier Worthy, wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, was arrested Friday in Williamson County, Texas, on a charge of assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation.
The charge is classified as a third-degree felony in Texas, carrying potential penalties of two to ten years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
Worthy’s lawyers claim the allegation stems from a dispute with a woman who allegedly refused to vacate his residence after being asked multiple times, citing her infidelity as a factor in the conflict.
The Kansas City Chiefs acknowledged the arrest in a statement, saying they are aware of the situation and gathering information.
Worthy, who was drafted 28th overall in 2024, recently completed a standout rookie season, including two touchdowns in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl loss to the Eagles.
