Dallas Police Issue Arrest Warrant For Chiefs Rashee Rice: 8 Charges After Car Crash

The Dallas Police Department has issued an arrest warrant for Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice after a major car crash late last month.

Dallas Police issued an arrest warrant for Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice on Wednesday, per multiple reports.

After a six-car crash on March 30, Rice, 23, faces six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault, according to the warrant. All of those charges are felonies.

Last week, Rice admitted to investigators that he was the driver of the speeding Lamborghini SUV involved in the crash. A Corvette leased in Rice's name was also involved in the crash, and the driveer of that car, 21-year-old Theodore Knox, faces the same eight charges as Rice.

Rice and four other men were captured on video leaving the scene of the crash without exchanging information or checking if the victims were OK. Police confirmed that the passengers will not face charges.

The crash left four people injured, with two victims having to go to the hospital. According to Tennessee Walker, a lawyer representing the husband and wife who went to the hospital, his clients are "angry" and want accountability from the receiver.

"It doesn’t really matter who it was, it’s simply that the people who caused this compounded an already bad situation with their reckless driving by leaving the scene,” he said. “Just from a human decency angle, [stopping] is the right thing to do. It’s also the law,” Walker told WFAA.

State Sen. Royce West, the attorney representing Rice, pleaded for people to not judge him based on this incident alone.

“He’s a young man that made a mistake,” West said, per The Dallas Morning News.

A second-round pick out of SMU, Rice emerged as the Chiefs' top receiver during his rookie season as he caught 79 passes for 938 yards and seven touchdowns.
