Rashee Rice is having an offseason to forget.The Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver had an excellent rookie campaign, culminating in a Super Bowl win. However, he has found himself in trouble with the law since then, having gotten involved in a hit-and-run

incident in Dallas that could prompt a lengthy suspension.The wideout is also being investigated for assaulting a photographer at a nightclub in Dallas but could see some reprieve amid his latest legal wrinkle.The Dallas Police Department has not identified Rice as a suspect in this particular case, and it appears that his luck could change.The owner of the club where the alleged incident took place (Lit Kitchen) has said that the Chiefs star was not involved in an altercation as his cameras showed nothing appearing to be a fight of any sort, while his staff didn’t mention anything pointing to such an incident.

“It’s lies based on what I see through my camera system, and there’s nothing wrong with the guy,” the owner told FOX 4.

The Assault Charges Against Rashee Rice Have Been Dropped


According to the aforementioned outlet, the charges against Rashee Rice have been dropped as his accuser has signed an affidavit of non-prosecution and doesn’t want to pursue charges. The Dallas Police Department is still looking into the case, but the wideout should be safe for now.

While he shouldn’t face any charges for what happened at the club, Rice is still dealing with other major legal issues, plus he’s also being sued over the accident he caused.

His legal matters are not the only bad press the Chiefs are dealing with right now. Two of their offensive linemen were arrested on marijuana charges last week, and the Harrison Butker controversy is still very much alive.

The photographer involved in an incident with Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice at a nightclub in Dallas earlier this month has made a final decision regarding his case against the second-year NFL star.According to NFL

insider Tom Pelissero, charges against Rashee Rice regarding an alleged assault at a Dallas nightclub have reportedly been requested to be dropped.NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero stated the photographer who accused Rice of assaulting them told police in an affidavit that it was a “misunderstanding” and asked for the charges to be dropped.

“There was also a recent accusation by a photographer about him assaulting the photographer on his way out of the club,” Pelissero said Tuesday morning. “I can actually tell you the photographer recently dropped those charges. He gave an affidavit to the Dallas police department saying it was a misunderstanding and wants the charges dropped.

“You still have things related to the auto incident that is going to have to play out here for Rashee Rice. Then on top of that, NFL discipline. But at least for now, back with the Chiefs.”

This is a significant turning point in Rice’s ongoing dysfunctional offseason. Because of his involvement in a multi-car collision in Dallas in April, Rice was already facing charges. After reports of an assault on Rice surfaced in May, authorities looked into the matter once more.

Rashee Rice is scheduled to participate in organized team activities (OTAs) with the Chiefs this offseason, even though he may face a “multi-game suspension” from the NFL as a result of the car collision case. After both off-field incidents, Rice will play alongside his teammates for the first time.

Rice’s future will be determined by the NFL and the courts. As the legal process for the car accident proceeds, neither the Chiefs nor the NFL have made any public comments regarding Rice’s situation.
