Chiefs WR Worthy won't be charged after arrest

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy will not be charged following his arrest Friday night for an alleged assault in Williamson County, Texas, the district attorney there told the Austin American-Statesman on Saturday.

Worthy, 21, was booked into jail by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office for assault of a family or house member by impeding the breathing or circulation. Online records did not have any details of the arrest. The online court listing for the case was updated to "dismissed/declined" later Saturday.

Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick told the Statesman that his office declined to charge Worthy after speaking with multiple witnesses but said he will "continue to evaluate the case."

"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," Dick told the Statesman. "Mr. Worthy and his lawyers are fully cooperating with this investigation."

The Chiefs said earlier Saturday that they were aware of Worthy's arrest and gathering information.

According to attorneys for the player, Worthy and the complainant, a woman, were in a dispute after he asked her to leave his residence. They said the woman caused property damage and scratched Worthy's face, among other allegations, but that the wide receiver told police he did not want to press charges.

"We will continue to cooperate with Williamson County authorities as we have full faith their thorough investigation will support Mr. Worthy's innocence," added the attorneys in a statement.

In Texas, impeding a family member's breathing or circulation is a third-degree felony and punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

Worthy was the Chiefs' first-round draft pick in 2024. He caught 59 passes for 638 yards and scored nine touchdowns as a rookie.

Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.
