Xavier Worthy will not face charges after his recent arrest.
The former Texas Longhorns wide receiver was arrested in Williamson Couty, Texas, on Friday night for alleged assault against a family or household member. Attorneys for Worthy, who completed his rookie season with the Kansas City Chiefs, called it an ‘extortive’ and ‘baseless’ assault charge.
Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick decided not to take the case after speaking with multiple witnesses, per the Austin American-Statesman.
After further investigation by the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office and further discussion with a third-party witness, Mr. Worthy and his attorneys, this case is being declined at this time pending completion of the investigation by the Williamson County Sheriff’s Office,” Dick’s office said in an email to the AAS. “Mr. Worthy and his lawyers are fully cooperating with this investigation.
“We will continue to evaluate the case. 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.
Worthy was selected No. 28 overall by the Chiefs in the 2024 NFL Draft. He recorded 59 catches for 638 yards and 6 touchdowns along with 20 rushes for 104 yards and 3 scores in regular-season action. In his first postseason, Worthy had 19 catches for 287 yards and 3 TDs, including 8 catches for 157 yards and 2 scores in the Super Bowl LIX loss to the Philadelphia Eagles.
