Court documents show Britt Reid allegedly violated parole

Britt Reid can’t seem to stay out of trouble

Britt Reid, son of Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid, apparently is too much of a scourge to understand the advantage of a big break.

Kansascity.com reports court documents show Britt Reid violated the terms of his parole by driving his mom’s car with children in it.

The issue — and it is a hot-button one — is Britt Reid is on probation and is forbidden from driving a vehicle without a breathalyzer in it.

Per the report:

The alleged violation was mentioned in an affidavit filed earlier this month in Reid’s Johnson County divorce case. It was among examples Kristen Reid’s attorney filed attempting to show Johnson County District Judge Jason Billam had favored and been lax with Britt Reid in the divorce proceedings because of his connections to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Britt Reid, 39, pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated and causing a crash that severely injured a 5-year-old girl in 2021. He was sentenced to three years in prison.

His sentence was commuted by Missouri Gov. Mike Parson in March, a decision that was heavily questioned and criticized.

Per the Star:

John Picerno, a Kansas City defense attorney not involved in this case, said he would advise clients in Reid’s position to assume there is zero tolerance for misbehavior and to “be a Boy Scout,” especially in a high profile case.

Generally, Picerno said, those who violate their parole terms are given sanctions like more classes or additional sobriety checks. After multiple violations, however, it’s more likely that parole could be revoked.

Governor of Missouri commutes Britt Reid’s prison sentence to house arrest

The governor of Missouri commuted Britt Reid’s prison sentence to house arrest

Britt Reid has been serving time in prison for the DUI crash that left 5-year-old Ariel Young with a traumatic brain injury.

Rather than having the son of Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid finish serving his three-year sentence, Gov. Mike Parsons of Missouri on Friday commuted Britt Reid’s sentence to house arrest.

The governor’s office said Reid will be released, and he will serve the remainder of his sentence, until Oct. 31, 2025, under house arrest.

“Reid has completed his alcohol abuse treatment program and has served more prison time than most individuals convicted of similar offenses,” Parson’s office said in a statement.

Per KCRGTV:

  • He will be under house arrest until October 31, 2025.
  • He also must be employed at least 30 hours a week.
  • He will have to have an interlock system on any vehicle he operates, have random screenings for intoxicating substances, weekly meetings with a probation and parole officer.
  • There will be required behavior counseling and weekly meetings with a peer support sponsor.
  • Britt Reid will be required to do 10 hours of community service per month.

Reid pleaded guilty in 2022 to charges relating to the crash in April 2021.

Former Chiefs assistant Britt Reid was sentenced to 3 years in prison

Britt Reid was sentenced to three years in prison for the alcohol-fueled car accident that left a young girl severely injured in February 2021.

When tested after the accident his BAC was .113.

His attorney had asked for probation. While the prosecutors sought a four-year prison term.

The Young family wanted a more severe punishment.

Prior to sentencing, Reid, a former Kansas City Chiefs assistant and the son of head coach Andy Reid, spoke in the courtroom.

Former Chiefs assistant Britt Reid pleads guilty to felony DWI charge

Britt Reid entered a guilty plea to a felony DWI charge

In a Kansas City, Mo, court Monday, former Chiefs assistant Britt Reid pleaded guilty to a felony DWI charge that resulted from a February 2021 accident that left a 5-year-old girl with serious injuries.

A girl inside one of the cars, Ariel Young, suffered a traumatic brain injury. Six people, including Reid, were injured in the crash.

“Britt Reid entered his plea of guilty this morning to the offense charged. Mr. Reid accepted responsibility for his actions,” Reid’s attorney. JR Hobbs said. “The Court accepted his plea of guilty and the plea agreement and ordered a sentencing report. Mr. Reid continues to be remorseful for his conduct and hopes that his plea brings some sense of justice to all he has affected. He will be preparing for his sentencing which will occur later in the fall.”

Reid, the 37-year-old son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, had been scheduled to go to trial on Sept. 26.

“I really regret what I did,” Britt Reid said. “I made a huge mistake. I apologize to the family. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone.”

Reid then turned and looked at Young’s family and said, “I didn’t mean to hurt anyone that night.”

He had faced up to seven years in prison, but the plea deal means he now faces a possible sentence ranging from probation to four years in prison. He entered his plea in Jackson County Circuit Court in Kansas City. Sentencing is set for Oct. 28.

The Young family is against the plea deal. Young’s mother, Felicia Miller, told the judge her family was against the terms.

When the judge asked the family if they had anything to say, Miller said, “My family and I are opposed to the plea deal. I don’t think he should receive it.”

The attorney for the family released a statement, too.

“The five victims of this crime are outraged the prosecuting attorney is not seeking the maximum sentence allowable by law,” the family said in a statement through their attorney. “The defendant is a prior offender whose actions caused a 5-year-old girl to be in a coma and seriously injured three others.”

Former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid’s felony DWI trial set for April

Former #Chiefs OLB coach Britt Reid’s felony DWI trial date has been set for 2022.

The trial date for former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid, son of Andy Reid, has officially been set according to numerous reports.

On April 18, 2022, Britt Reid will stand trial for a felony driving while intoxicated charge. The charge comes following a car crash on February 4, ahead of Super Bowl LV, where Reid is alleged to have been driving under the influence. The crash left a 5-year-old girl with a traumatic brain injury and left another child badly injured.

The DWI charge was initially filed against Reid in April of 2021. He plead not guilty to the charge in June. If convicted of the Class-D felony, the 36-year-old could face up to 7 years in prison.

Reid was hired as a defensive quality control coach by Kansas City when his father became head coach of the team in 2013. He worked his way up to his post as the team’s outside linebacker coach, moving through the Chiefs’ coaching ranks over the years.

Reid was placed on administrative leave for a brief time following the crash before his contract with the team expired. The Chiefs have since hired Ken Flajole to take over as the team’s outside linebackers coach.

Former Chiefs assistant Britt Reid charged with felony DWI

Former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid has been charged with felony DWI for a crash that left a 5-year-old with a brain injury.

Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid was charged Monday with felony DWI as a result of a crash in early February that left a young girl in critical condition with a brain injury.

The Jackson County (Missouri) Prosecutor’s Office made the announcement.

Reid was expected to surrender to authorities Monday, and the prosecutor’s office requested a $100,000 bond and Reid to be placed on GPS and alcohol monitoring.

Authorities said Reid’s BAC — Blood Alcohol Concentration– was .113 roughly two hours after the crash, which occurred Feb. 4.

Class D felony DWI faces a potential punishment of a maximum seven years in prison.

Per Kansascity.com:

The crash happened when the former linebackers coach and son of head coach Andy Reid struck two cars on the side of an entrance ramp along Interstate 435, near the team’s practice facility.

He was driving over 83 mph two seconds before his vehicle slammed into the other vehicles, prosecutors said Monday.

The crash injured two young children, including 5-year-old Ariel Young, who suffered a traumatic brain injury. She was released from the hospital on April 2 and is being treated at her home. Ariel is unable to talk or walk and is being fed through a feeding tube. She suffered a parietal fracture, brain contusions and subdural hematoma, according to prosecutors.

“The hope is that being in a familiar setting will trigger parts of her brain that have not woken up yet,” the family’s attorney, Tom Porto said. “Undoubtedly, her recovery process will continue for a long time, if not indefinitely. It’s heartbreaking and we are not sure what the future holds.”

The Chiefs released a statement:  “The Kansas City Chiefs organization remains steadfast in our concern for all who have been impacted by this tragic accident. Our prayers are focused on Ariel’s continued healing and recovery. The Chiefs are regularly in contact with the family’s designated representative during this challenging time.”

The Gofundme for Ariel, the 5-year-old injured in the crash, is ongoing and has reached $544,000.
