Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested on Friday in Georgetown, Texas on assault charges but had the charges dismissed shortly after. The charge was for assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation. His lawyer confirmed the dismissal of the charge on Saturday. Worthy was released from the Williamson County Jail, located outside of Austin. Worthy’s lawyers released a statement alleging that the complainant, Worthy’s partner, had refused to vacate his residence after being discovered of infidelity. They claimed that she made extortion attempts before making the baseless assault allegation. Worthy had stated he did not want to press charges against her. The Kansas City Chiefs said they were aware of the situation and gathering information.
Worthy, 21, was drafted by the Chiefs in the 2024 NFL Draft and had a successful rookie season, scoring 9 touchdowns and performing well in the Super Bowl with 8 catches for 157 yards and 2 touchdowns. Worthy had a standout career at the University of Texas, earning multiple All-Big 12 honors. The incident remains under investigation, and further details about the reason for the charges and their dismissal have not been disclosed. This is a developing story, and updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
