Kansas City Chiefs’ wide receiver Xavier Worthy, aged 21, was arrested on March 7, 2025, in Williamson County, Texas, on a felony charge of assaulting a family or household member by impeding breath or circulation. This arrest comes just weeks after Worthy’s standout rookie season, where he scored two touchdowns in Super Bowl LIX. His attorneys assert that the allegations are unfounded, claiming the complainant made baseless accusations after being asked to leave Worthy’s residence due to infidelity. The Chiefs organization and the NFL are aware of the situation and are gathering more information. If convicted, Worthy faces a potential prison sentence of two to ten years and a fine of up to $10,000.
