Rashee Rice was already in trouble when he decided to flea the scene after causing a six-car crash in Dallas over the weekend. And it appears as though things have just gotten a lot worse for the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver.
According to a report from ABC, police records indicate that 10.8 grams of marijuana were found in the Lamborghini that Rice has since admitted to driving during the accident.
As stated in the report, that amount of marijuana is considered a felony in the state of Texas. And the punishment for a felony in Texas is a “sentence of incarceration in the state jail of 180 days to two years and a fine of not more than $10,000.“
Police were searching for Rice after two vehicles under his name caused a major accident on the 75 Central Expressway on Saturday. The cars were said to be street racing at the time of the crash, which involved multiple other vehicles. And to make matters worse, all of the individuals inside Rice’s two vehicles simple grabbed their stuff and left the scene immediately after the accident.
Rashee Rice Has Admitted To Driving The Lamborghini Involved In Serious Accident
After not saying much, Rice has since admitted his involvement in the accident, telling police that he was the one who was driving the Lamborghini at high speeds during the time of the incident. That could prove to be a big problem for Rice, who appears almost certain to receive some form of discipline from the NFL once this matter is all wrapped up.
Losing Rice for any amount of time would be a tough blow to the defending champions, as the 2023 second-round pick was expected to be a big part of the Chiefs’ offense after putting up 938 yards and seven touchdowns as a rookie.
