Xavier Worthy continued the trend of Kansas City Chiefs players getting arrested almost every offseason, but he’s now being considered a victim.

The electric wide receiver was arrested for assault in Texas on Friday night and, according to records, was booked for impeding the breathing or circulation of a member of his family or household.

It turns out that the alleged victim was the player’s ex-fiancee, Tia Jones.

However, it’s since been disclosed that no charges will be filed, given the lack of evidence.

“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,” Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick told the Austin American-Statesman on Saturday evening.

Worthy was released shortly after the announcement, although the DA hasn’t shut the case entirely, having noted that it would continue to be evaluated.Worthy’s lawyers also released a statement suggesting that the wideout was actually the victim.

Chip Lewis and Sam Bassett assert that Jones attempted to extort Worthy after he found evidence of her infidelity and asked her to leave his home, something she refused to do despite two weeks of urging.

She is also accused of damaging his property, scratching his face, and even pulling out his hair.

“The complainant… made a number of extortive efforts prior to resorting to this baseless allegation against Mr. Worthy,” they wrote.

While Worthy is said to have photographic evidence, he declined to press charges as he believed an investigation by the authorities would clear his name.

It appears the player is off the hook for now, with Chiefs Kingdom breathing a collective sigh of relief.
