Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy Won’t Be Charged For Arrest In Texas

Update:

The Austin American-Statesman is reporting that authorities have declined to press charges against Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy following his Friday arrest.

Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick told the Statesman that, after speaking with multiple witnesses, his office is not accepting the case at this time.

“After further investigation by the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office and further discussion with a third-party witness, Mr. Worthy and his attorneys, this case is being declined at this time pending completion of the investigation by the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office,” an email from Dick’s offices said. “Mr. Worthy and his lawyers are fully cooperating with this investigation.

“We will continue to evaluate the case. As is our practice with all declines, should you develop additional information indicative of probable cause in this case, our office will consider that information and may present the case at that time to a Williamson County Grand Jury.”

According to Will Kunkel, Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night in Williamson County, Texas. 

The police report shows that Worthy was charged with “assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation.”

Worthy, 21, was selected with the No. 28 pick in the 2024 NFL Draft by the Chiefs. He later agreed to a four-year, $13,536,755 contract that includes a $6,664,913 signing bonus and will carry a $2,461,228 cap figure for the 2024 season.

The contract includes a fifth-year option for the team to pick up in 2028.

In 2024, Worthy appeared in all 17 games for the Chiefs and made 13 starts for them while catching 59 passes for 638 yards receiving and six touchdowns. He also rushed for 104 yards on 20 carries and three more touchdowns.
