Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver and former Texas Longhorns standout Xavier Worthy has been arrested in Texas. Jail records from Williamson County, located just north of Austin, indicate that the 21-year-old was taken into custody by the sheriff’s office and booked into county jail.
Charge of Assaulting
The specific circumstances surrounding Worthy’s arrest remain unclear at this time. However, he is currently facing a charge of assaulting a family member by impeding their breathing or circulation, which is classified as a third-degree felony under Texas law.
If convicted, Worthy could face a prison sentence ranging from two to ten years, along with a fine of up to $10,000.
Under Texas law, impeding breathing or circulation is defined as “intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly impeding” normal breathing or blood circulation by “applying pressure to the person’s throat or neck or by blocking the person’s nose or mouth.”
