Two Kansas City Chiefs players were reportedly arrested on drug charges this week. The arrests came amid a turbulent offseason for the defending Super Bowl champions.
The Kansas City Chiefs have had a turbulent offseason
Second-year wide receiver Rashee Rice faces eight felony charges in connection to a high-speed crash in late March. Rice is also being investigated for allegedly assaulting a photographer.
In non-crime news, the Chiefs are exploring options to move from Kansas City after losing a tax referendum vote in April. This week, kicker Harrison Butker made a controversial commencement speech at Benedictine College.
Wanya Morris and Chukwuebuka Godrick were arrested
According to KSHB, Chiefs offensive tackle Wanya Morris and offensive tackle Chukwuebuka Godrick were arrested on Thursday night:
“Kansas City Chiefs offensive linemen Wanya Morris, 23, and Chukwuebuka Godrick, 23, were charged Friday with misdemeanor marijuana possession in Johnson County, Kansas.
Court records show the pair were arrested late Thursday night by a Johnson County Sheriff’s Deputy and taken into custody a short time later. The pair were booked into the Johnson County Adult Detention Center just before 2 a.m. Friday.
Both players made a video appearance before a Johnson County judge Friday afternoon before both posted $2,500 bond and were released just after 4 p.m. Friday.”
This is a big offseason for Morris. He’s expected to compete with second-round pick Kingsley Suamataia for the starting left tackle job that free agent Donovan Smith occupied last season.
