For the second straight offseason, a young Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver is in some legal trouble.

If you haven't seen the news, Xavier Worthy was arrested on Friday evening in Texas in Williamson County on charges of domestic assault. This was first reported by Will Cuncle, who is of

0:25.1

the Houston Fox affiliate Fox 26 in Houston. His tweet or ex post, whatever you want to call it,

0:33.1

he said former Texas star wide receiver and chief's wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night.

0:39.8

The charges criminal charge of assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation.
