Confirmed: A penalty has been assigned to the son of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid for his recent actions

The governor of Missouri has commuted the three-year prison sentence of Britt Reid, son of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, following his conviction for a DUI crash that caused serious injuries to five people, including a severe injury to five-year-old Ariel Young.

Reid had entered a guilty plea in September 2022 for driving under the influence and causing bodily harm. The incident had significant consequences, particularly for Ariel Young, who suffered critical injuries.

Initially, Ariel’s mother, Felicia Miller, advocated for the maximum sentence before Reid accepted a plea deal, which resulted in a potential four-year prison term. However, Reid’s time served falls short of even half of this duration.

Governor Mike Parson, in a statement, highlighted that Reid has already completed an alcohol abuse treatment program and served more time behind bars than is typical for similar offenses. Following his release, Reid will be subject to house arrest until October 31, 2025, and will face rigorous probation conditions including weekly check-ins with a parole officer, consistent behavioral counseling, meetings with a peer support sponsor, and demanding community service and employment requirements.

The commutation conditions mandate Reid to secure employment for a minimum of 30 hours weekly, install an ignition interlock device in any vehicle he drives, undergo random substance tests, attend weekly meetings with a probation officer, participate in behavioral counseling, engage with a peer support sponsor, and complete at least 10 hours of community service each week. Additionally, Reid is prohibited from contacting the victim or her family, barring legal obligations.

Court documents revealed that Reid had a blood alcohol concentration of 0.113 and was driving at 84mph shortly before the collision. Officers at the scene observed signs of impairment, including bloodshot eyes and the odor of alcohol.

Footage from the crash, released in April 2023, showed Reid attempting to use his cellphone shortly after being extracted from his vehicle. He inquired about the wellbeing of the occupants in the other car, apparently unaware of the critical condition of Ariel Young, who was in a coma with traumatic brain injuries. Young’s mother reported that her daughter remained unconscious for two weeks post-accident and faced a challenging recovery, relearning basic functions such as walking, talking, and eating.

Following the incident, Reid lost his job as the Chiefs’ linebacker coach, and it was later revealed that he had been drinking at the team’s facility prior to the crash.
