Overview

  • Joseph’s BMW struck Cody Morris’s motorcycle just before 5 a.m. on June 7 on U.S. Highway 75 in Richardson, Texas, killing the 27-year-old rider.
  • He called Plano police at 5:39 a.m. to report the crash and was found northbound on the North Central Expressway showing signs of intoxication.
  • Richardson police booked him on charges of misdemeanor driving while intoxicated and a second-degree felony for collision involving personal injury or death.
  • A combined bond of $26,000 was set—$1,000 for the DWI count and $25,000 for the death-accident count—and Joseph was released from jail on June 8.
  • The ex-NFL cornerback, now with the UFL’s DC Defenders, had been cleared of involvement in a 2022 Dallas shooting after being questioned as a person of interest.
