KANSAS CITY, Mo. (WDAF) — Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice has turned himself in to police after a warrant was issued for his arrest Wednesday evening.

Rice turned himself in Thursday to the Glenn Heights Police Department in Texas, according to online records. He has been taken to the DeSoto, Texas, jail.

Rice is wanted on one count of aggravated assault, one count of collision involving serious bodily injury and six counts of collision involving injury.

Theodore Knox, 21, is also wanted on the same charges. 

The passengers in the vehicles will not be charged with a crime.

Rice released a statement on social media that he was taking “full responsibility” for his role in a March 30 crash that happened on a Dallas highway where police say two speeding drivers in a Lamborghini SUV and a Chevrolet Corvette lost control and caused a six-vehicle crash.

Investigators say several people got out of the Lamborghini and Corvette and left the crash scene without providing insurance information or checking to see if anyone was hurt.

Rice’s attorney Royce West said that Rice was driving the Lamborghini SUV involved in the crash. TMZ reported that Rice owns the Corvette and leases the Lamborghini.

Rice drove the Lamborghini while Knox drove the Corvette that started the crash.

Nobody died, but four people were hurt.

All of the charges that Rice and Knox are facing are felonies.

Collision involving injury carries a penalty of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice for not more than five years or confinement in the county jail for not more than one year, a fine not to exceed $5,000 or both.

Collision involving serious bodily injury — a third-degree felony — carries a punishment of imprisonment in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice of not more than 10 years or less than 2 years. Aggravated assault — a second-degree felony — is punishable by two to 20 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000.

The investigation is still ongoing.

Rice, a native of a Dallas suburb and a Southern Methodist University graduate, won a Super Bowl with the Chiefs in his rookie season and finished with the second most receiving yards behind tight end Travis Kelce.
