Rashee Rice issued arrest warrant by Dallas police ‘and he has 24 hours to turn himself in’ as Chiefs Super Bowl winner faces EIGHT charges for multi-vehicle crash he fled in

Dallas police have issued an arrest warrant for Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl winner Rashee Rice for causing a multi-vehicle car crash in Dallas in March.

Rice, 23, faces eight charges in total: six counts of collision causing bodily injury, one count of collision causing serious injury and one count of aggravated assault.

WFAA says Rice has 24 hours to turn himself in before officers are sent to arrest him. Rice crashed his Lamborghini on a Dallas highway and police suspect he was racing with it.

Arrest warrants were also issued for Theodore Knox, 21, who was driving the other speeding sports car, a Corvette, police said. Police said warrants were issued for Knox’s arrest for one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision resulting in serious bodily injury and six counts of collision resulting in injury.

Police said the passengers of two speeding sports cars that left the scene will not be charged and that Rice and Knox were not currently in custody.

Last week, Rice released a statement on social media taking responsibility for what happened.

“Today I met with Dallas Police investigators regarding Saturday’s crash,” Rice said in his statement.

“I take full responsibility for my role in this matter and will continue to cooperate with the relevant authorities. I sincerely apologize to everyone affected by Saturday’s accident.

Passengers in the vehicles will not be charged, but Theodore Knox, the man behind the wheel of the Corvette that crashed into Rice’s Lamborghini, will be.

Police suspected Rice was driving the Corvette at the time of the collision. They previously said the drivers of the Corvette and Lamborghini were speeding in the far left lane when they lost control and the Lamborghini traveled onto the shoulder and struck the center median wall, causing the chain collision.

After the crash, three men – including Rice – were filmed walking away from the wreckage without stopping.

The police report revealed that 10.8 grams of marijuana were found in the vehicle Rice’s attorney confirmed he was driving.

In Texas, possession of up to two ounces of marijuana is a Class B misdemeanor, punishable by up to 180 days in jail and a fine of up to $2,000.

Rice, 23, said in a statement last week that he took responsibility for the accident.

Receiver Rice – pictured in action for the Chiefs last season – grew up in Fort Worth, Texas.

Rice was born in Philadelphia but raised in Fort Worth, Texas, in the suburb of North Richland Hills. He played college football at nearby Southern Methodist University, where a stellar senior season in 2022 put the wide receiver on the radar of NFL teams.

The Chiefs selected him in the second round of last year’s draft and he quickly became one of the only reliable options in their passing game.

He recorded 79 catches and 938 yards with a team-leading seven touchdown receptions in 16 games (eight starts) after being selected by Kansas City in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

He also had 26 catches for 262 yards and a score in four playoff games to help the Chiefs win their second straight Super Bowl title.

He set a franchise rookie playoff record with 130 receiving yards in January’s 26-7 playoff win over the Miami Dolphins, earning praise from Travis Kelce.

“I’m proud of him,” Kelce said. “I think he’s come a long way and I think he continues to progress as a player in this offense. It’s been fun to watch him rise to the occasion and catapult us in a lot of ways, both in the passing game and in the running game.
