Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy's assault charge has been dismissed, according to jail records obtained by NFL Media.
Worthy was arrested Friday night in Georgetown, Texas, and booked at the Williamson County Sherriff's Office on a criminal charge of assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation, per jailhouse records.
Those records have since been updated to indicate the Williamson County District Attorney's office is declining the case.
District Attorney Shawn Dick told the Austin-American Statesman on Saturday that the office made the decision not to accept the case "pending completion of the investigation by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office" after speaking with multiple witnesses.
"We will continue to evaluate the case," Dick said in an email to the Austin-American Statesman. "As is our practice with all declines, should you develop additional information indicative of probable cause in this case, our office will consider that information and may present the case at that time to a Williamson County Grand Jury."
Following Worthy's initial arrest, his attorneys, Chip Lewis and Sam Bassett, provided NFL Media with the following statement Saturday: "We are aware of the allegation that led to Mr. Worthy's arrest. We are working with law enforcement in Williamson County to ensure they have the benefit of the totality of circumstances that led to this allegation. The complainant was asked multiple times over the last two weeks to vacate Mr. Worthy's residence upon discovery of her infidelity, which a private investigator has video evidence of. She has refused to vacate the residence and made a number of extortive efforts prior to resorting to this baseless allegation against Mr. Worthy. The complainant further destroyed a room in the residence, scratched Mr. Worthy's face and ripped out parts of his hair, which there is photographic evidence of. Mr. Worthy told law enforcement at the time of the incident he did not want to press charges against the complainant. We will continue to cooperate with Williamson County authorities as we have full faith their thorough investigation will support Mr. Worthy's innocence."
The Chiefs told NFL Media in a statement before charges had been dismissed that they were "aware and gathering information."
"We are aware of the matter and have been in contact with the club," the league also said in a statement at that time, via NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.
Worthy, 21, was a first-round selection by Kansas City in the 2024 NFL Draft.
He led all Chiefs WRs in receptions (59), receiving yards (638) and touchdowns (six) as a rookie. He also had eight catches for 157 yards and two TDs in the team's Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
