Chiefs' Rashee rice was sentenced to 30 days in prison

The main receiver of Kansas City Chiefs, Rashee Rice, was sentenced to 30 days in prison on Thursday and five years of probation for his role in a multicar crash last year.

According to a release of the district prosecutor in Dallas, Rice guilty before the district court, to do two crimes for third degrees-collision with serious assault and races on a motorway that causes physical injuries.

A judge of the district district in Dallas decided that Rice can serve prison periods during the five -year probation period at any time. Rice received a postponed decision, said Sources of Adam Schefter from ESPN, so that the case is rejected when he concludes the probation.

Before his declaration of consent, Rice also paid over 115,000 US dollars to the victims of the accident in March 2024 for their medical expenses, according to the public prosecutor.

The NFL can now accelerate its disciplinary process from Rice, which will probably receive a multi -name suspension at some point in the coming season 2025.

“We have monitored all developments on the matter that are still being checked,” said the NFL Vice President of Communication Brian McCarthy.

Rice said in a statement published by his lawyer on Thursday that he was “deeply sorry for the physical compensation for person and property”.

“In March last year I was involved in a high -speed accident in Dallas,” said Rice in his explanation. “There were many sleepless nights that thought about the damage that caused my actions, and I will continue to work in my means to ensure that all those affected are made whole. I ask everyone to avoid the speed limit, drive safely and drive intelligently.

“Finally and certainly, last but not least, I am deeply sorry for the physical damage to person and property. I fully apologize for the damage I caused innocent drivers and their families.”

The police said Rice was on the road shortly before May 30, 2024 in Dallas with 119 miles per hour in a Lamborghini Sport Utility vehicle.

John Cruzot, Dallas district prosecutor, said in a statement that Rice was “lucky to have gone away” and he hopes that Rice will take this as the opportunity to mature and lead by progressing well. “

“If someone ruthlessly drives with the public platform of Mr. RICS, there is a responsibility to recognize the risk of others and to take on the accountability obligation,” said Creuzot. “A vehicle in the wrong hands can be as dangerous as any weapon. We are very lucky that no life was lost on this day, and Mr. Rice is lucky enough to have gone away.

The 25 -year -old Rice suffered a torn ACL in the fourth week in week 4 and missed the rest of the chiefs' AFC championship campaign. The chiefs expect the draft of the second round 2023 to be healthy when the training camp starts next week.
