Rashee Rice ‘arrest warrant issued and he has 24 hours to turn himself in’ with Chiefs Super Bowl winner ‘facing EIGHT charges’ for multi-vehicle car crash in Dallas that he fled
An arrest warrant has reportedly been issued for Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner Rashee Rice for his role in the multi-vehicle car crash in Dallas in March.
According WFAA, the 23-year-old Rice faces eight charges in total – six counts of collision involving bodily injury, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and one count of aggravated assault.
The publication adds that Rice has 24 hours to turn himself in before officers are sent to arrest him.
Last week, Rice posted a statement on social media taking responsibility for what happened.
‘Today I met with Dallas PD investigators regarding Saturday’s accident,’ Rice said in his statement.

‘I take full responsibility for my part in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the necessary authorities. I sincerely apologize to everyone impacted in Saturday’s accident.’
Passengers in the vehicles are not going to be charged but Theodore Knox, the man driving the Corvette that crashed into Rice’s Lamborghini, will be.
Police suspected Rice was racing the Corvette at the time of the collision.
After the smash had happened, three men – including Rice – were filmed walking away from the wreckage without stopping.
The police report revealed that 10.8 grams of marijuana was found in the vehicle that Rice’s attorney has confirmed he was driving.
In Texas, possession of up to two ounces of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor, which is punishable by up to 180 days in jail and fine of up to $2,000.
