Just a short two months after being in a car accident with multiple vehicles, Rashee Rice, a wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, finds himself in the midst of another controversy. This time, it involves allegations that he hit a photographer while at a club in Dallas earlier this week, according to sources within the Dallas Police Department.
The incident reportedly took place in the early hours of May 6 at the Lit Kitchen & Lounge and its attached speakeasy venue, Feu Nightclub. USA Today Sports reported that police officers were called to the scene after receiving a report of an assault.
In a statement, the Dallas Police Department stated that the victim had reported being assaulted by a suspect at the club's address on North Harwood Street. The victim was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The investigation is ongoing.
Rice, who had just completed his rookie season with the Super Bowl Champion team, was also involved in a high-speed car accident on March 30. He was allegedly driving a luxury vehicle when he lost control and crashed into multiple cars. After the incident, he and his friends reportedly left the scene without checking on the wellbeing of the other victims.
As a result, the Dallas Police Department issued arrest warrants for Rice and his former college teammate, Teddy Knox from Southern Methodist University. Rice turned himself in on April 11 and was released on bond. Both men have been charged with various counts, including aggravated assault and collision involving injury.
According to reports, all of the charges are felonies. The punishment for collision involving injury could result in a maximum of five years in prison or a fine of up to $5,000. The more serious charge of collision involving serious bodily injury could result in a prison sentence of up to 10 years. Aggravated assault, the most severe charge, carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.
It's a tough situation for Rice, who had just started his professional football career. It's also a reminder of the consequences that come with irresponsible actions, especially when it involves others. As the investigation continues, we hope that all parties involved can find a resolution and move forward.
