Rashee Rice Is Already In Some Serious Legal Trouble

The Chiefs WR is facing eight felony charges on that front, with six counts of collision involving bodily injury levied, as well as one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault.

In Texas, collision involving bodily injury carries a punishment of imprisonment for not longer than five years, confinement in the the county jail for up to one year, a fine not exceeding $5,000, or both.

Collision involving serious bodily injury is a third-degree felony and carries a prison term of not more than 10 years and at least two years. Aggravated assault, a second-degree felony, can land one in prison for up to 20 years and a $10,000 fine.

The Chiefs are expected to impose a heavy suspension on the player, although head coach Andy Reid said he would participate in the team’s voluntary offseason program.

Officers had been dispatched around 2:30 a.m. and police officials confirmed to The Dallas Morning News that Rice was a suspect in the case.

No charges have been filed in connection with the incident.

The latest incident comes on the heels of Rice already facing major legal issues in connection to a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas in March, which sent two people to area hospitals and has led authorities to charge Rice – and SMU receiver Teddy Knox – with eight felony counts over the incident.

Rice is also being sued for $10 million in damages by two of the victims, Irina Gromova and Edvard Petrovskiy.
