Chiefs' Rashee Rice Suspect In Alleged Assault

May 8, 2024 8:37 AM

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is a suspect in an alleged assault that injured a man at a Dallas nightclub earlier this week, police have confirmed.

The Dallas Morning News reported that officers were dispatched early Monday morning to the nightclub after reports of an assault. A man was taken to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries, including swelling on one side of his face.

Rice, 24, was arrested in Dallas in March for his involvement in a seven-car crash that left at least seven people with injuries. He is facing one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury, according to police.

Rice was driving 119 mph before the crash on a Dallas freeway, according to an arrest warrant affidavit obtained by the Morning News.

Chiefs Decline Fifth-Year Option On Kadarius Toney

May 2, 2024 10:53 PM

The Kansas City Chiefs have declined their fifth-year option for the 2025 season on Kadarius Toney.

Toney was a first round pick by the New York Giants in 2021. Toney was traded to the Chiefs in 2022.

Both general manager Brett Veach and coach Andy Reid recently indicated Toney was in the Chiefs' plans this season.

"I don't think we ever stopped believing in him,'' Veach said shortly before the draft. "I think people around the building like him. It's the injury bug. Hopefully, he gets some luck on his side and can stay healthy and can be the player that he was at Florida and the player that we've seen in spurts here. I'm just hoping he has a good offseason and has a little luck on his side and can stay healthy.''

Toney played in 13 games last season, but had just 27 catches for 169 yards and a touchdown.

Chiefs To Look At Stadium Options Beyond Arrowhead

Apr 29, 2024 9:04 AM

Clark Hunt says the Kansas City Chiefs will look at options beyond renovating Arrowhead Stadium as the team searches for a home beyond the expiration of its lease following the 2030 season.

"We will approach it from a broader perspective going forward because time is short for us at this point and so we need to see what other options are out there for us," Hunt said. "When we started on this process three years ago, it felt like we had a very long time, a long runway with about 9 1/2 [years] left on our lease. We're now down to 6½ and so I do feel very much of a sense of urgency.

"Arrowhead is a special place for our family and our fan base. That was one of the reasons that we focused on it with the last effort, but going forward it may make more sense for us to be in a new stadium."

Voters in Jackson County, Missouri, rejected a sales tax measure earlier this month that would have helped fund major renovations to Arrowhead as well as build a new ballpark for MLB's Royals in downtown Kansas City.

Options for a stadium for the Chiefs elsewhere in the Kansas City area include building on the Kansas side of the state line.

Chiefs Superfan Ordered To Pay $10.8M To Former Bank Teller

Apr 9, 2024 8:24 AM

A judge has ordered the Kansas City Chiefs superfan who committed a series of bank robberies to pay $10.8 million to a Bixby, Oklahoma, teller he threatened with a gun in December 2022.

Tulsa County District Judge Tracy L. Priddy ordered Xaviar Babudar, widely known as Chiefsaholic, to pay Payton Garcia, the former teller, $3.6 million for inflicting physical harm and emotional distress and $7.2 million in punitive damages.

Babudar, 29, built a large social media following, cultivating the image of an ambitious, generous young man who enjoyed gambling, Kansas State sports and, most of all, the Chiefs. However, an ESPN investigation revealed that much of what he portrayed about himself online was not true.

Babudar was first arrested Dec. 16, 2022, in Bixby, after fleeing the Tulsa Teachers Credit Union, where he pointed at black CO2 pistol at Garcia and demanded she give him "the 100s" or he'd put a bullet in her head, according to Bixby police.
