Chiefs' Rashee Rice booked for probation breach
19 May
Summary
- Rice was booked into jail for violating probation after testing positive for THC.
- He was sentenced to 30 days in jail as part of his probation terms.
- This follows a prior six-game suspension for a 2024 racing incident.
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has been incarcerated after violating his probation terms. Court records from Dallas County, Texas, indicate Rice was booked into jail on Tuesday, May 14, 2026. The violation stems from a positive THC test, which contravenes his probation agreement.
Rice had previously pleaded guilty to charges related to a 2024 highway racing accident in Dallas. As part of his sentencing last July, he received five years of deferred probation, including a 30-day jail sentence that he is now required to serve.
His release from custody is scheduled for June 16, 2026. This incident marks another significant legal challenge for Rice during the offseason, following a six-game suspension at the start of the 2025 season for a multi-vehicle crash in Dallas. He was also required to pay over $115,000 in restitution to victims of that crash.
Previously, Rice faced accusations of assault from the mother of his children in a Dallas County civil lawsuit. Although she alleged severe injuries and sought over $1 million in damages, Rice was not criminally charged, and the NFL found insufficient evidence to apply its personal conduct policy.
