RE: And where is the accountability for the Chiefs here?
You have to imagine that's coming next. I find it hard to believe this was a one time incident that this guy kept hidden from his employers. I'm thinking a lot of folks looked the other way when coach's son was getting blitzed at work.

It sounds like he drinks all day and slowly accumulates it.
I mean I know for me personally as a 195lb guy it would take about 8 standard drinks in 2 hours to get there. That's like party level drinking.

Correct, report says result was from blood taken around 11PM. So he was even more in the tank when it happened. Like stupid drunk.
No, I mean that is the only charge? From what I read he was at 84 mph up until 1.9 seconds before the crash.
That's all rolled up into it being a Class D felony charge - the negligence of driving that fast and causing an accident that seriously injured someone.

The prosecutors based that on them being Chiefs fans.
He hit them on the entrance ramp from Stadium Drive. Um, prosecutors, where the fuck was he drinking, the parking lot?!?

I personally think that's bullshit. Either he showed up to work so drunk that he worked a full day and still blew a .113 minutes after leaving or he was clearly drinking at the Chiefs facility.
And since the NFL has pretty severe penalties for employees drinking at NFL Stadiums, I think the local prosecutors did the Chiefs a solid.

That actually seems pretty plausible to me. I realize he a) has terrible judgement, and b) as the coach's son, probably thinks he can get away with stuff, including drinking at work, but if I had a drinking problem I'd try very hard to keep it outside the office, even if that just meant pounding them down in my car in the garage.
was a little girl. 5 years old or something like that. Just awful. She and her family now torn apart by this irresponsible dirt bag. Andy Reid's lousy job of parenting is well documented. In addition to whatever criminal and civil liability comes their way I hope both he and his son lose many, many nights of sleep over this.
The process will play out and consequences will be coming. This should be Reid's last year if I were the Chiefs but he probably should just resign imo. I get that winning is paramount in the NFL......
He hit and paralyzed someone while .11 - that's the more, actually forgot about that myself.
Yeah, that seems awfully light for what he did. Missouri has some odd laws regarding DWI and injuring someone else.
They would have to be charged with a felony DWI but that has 5 different classifications, each is based on how many previous DWI's convictions a person has.
it looks like he can be charged with DWI Felony E which is only 4 years in jail

Sooooo, what should he be charged with then?
I would think something stronger than a max 4-year sentence. His error in judgment has ruined one child and her family's lives. With no minimum sentence, he realistically could get zero time and a 5K fine.
It's about time people associated with these major sports leagues are treated like everyone else. A whole life thrown down the drain because this guy who has every resource available to him, couldn't control his behavior.

I may be wrong, the Search Warrant used to take his blood states that he multiple DUI Contacts. I know he has a previous drug charge and a Road Rage incident that he also did time for but I didn't know he has had other DUI's.
Depending on how many previous DUI's and taking into account his previous record he could get some real-time.

Ok, again (and not trying to be argumentative here), what should he be charged with? There are limitations for offenses and he didnt kill anybody (the wild card). You can't just say "You did _____, the punishment for ______ is _______ but we are going to punish you more because the family was hurt more. Not how it works. If all trials were held in the court of public opinion there would be many dead people.
FYI, most states, vehicular manslaughter (not what happened) because of DWI carries a prison sentence of 5-10. Cant chamge the law because of extenuating circumstances.
Ariel Young is the name of the 5 year old girl that Britt Reid injured while driving drunk. According to USA Today article linked below:
Quote:
"Ariel Young remained in the hospital through February and March before she was released on April 2, family attorney Tom Porto told USA TODAY Sports.
“The hope is that her pediatric brain injury will heal better in a familiar setting,” Porto said. “As of right now, she still cannot walk or talk and depends on a feeding tube for basic nutrition.”
Britt Reid had been cited by law enforcement for speeding or careless driving on at least three prior occasions, including in Pennsylvania in 2011, and in 2018 and 2019 in Missouri.
A horrible, horrible act of unfathomable selfishness by a piece of subhuman garbage. Just horrific.
It’s just inherited wealth anyway. She would do just as good a job as Clark Hunt and the rest of Lamar’s heirs, and she deserves it more than any of them do. Even Lamar was basically playing around with his daddy’s money when he started the AFL.
They say a real parent can never be happier than any of his children are. I hope in this case it’s true ... a horrible story for the poor child and her family; all because of a drunken asshole who should have been locked away years ago.
which has a little more detail. This guy was frighteningly out of control and should not have been anywhere near a motor vehicle. Link - ( New Window )
The penalty for this scumbag should be so much worse.
Drinking and driving is something that I'll never understand nor accept. Should be zero tolerance. If you ever get caught drinking and driving you should lose your license forever.
The inevitable conclusion of the civil litigation...
...is that the Hunts will settle, using petty cash, and make pious pronouncements of sympathy "for both families" while admitting no wrongdoing and taking no responsibility. The alternative for the Youngs is to continue relying on GoFundMe to pay Ariel's medical/rehab/education/care costs for years, while their personal-injury team battles the best attorneys oil money can buy, through courtroom after courtroom.
The child's name is Young. The mother's is Miller's. The way the KC Star describes the crash, her driving may have been less than exemplary too, but it hardly mitigates Reid's responsibility.

This on him as an individual ... the cheifs are not at fault here. So if this was a mom and pop store are the no responsible for what their employees do in their private life?

Let's say Mom and Pop give you a 5th of whiskey to wash down your beer during your shift. How would that be a "private life"? He didn't get drunk at home - he got drunk at work.
If the Chiefs don't promote drinking at work, or make alcohol available, why are they responsible?
Sure... Reid is an employee, but how do his actions create liability for his employer (assuming they didn't facilitate his actions). There may be a divergence of legal and moral authorities... The Chiefs may be legally liable, but the moral liability rests with the actions of one very sad human being.
The Chiefs will likely settle for a variety of reasons.
1) Lots of team employees probably saw him drunk, and may have enabled his conduct - that day and on other days - and failed to act. So, depending on Missouri law, a suit against the team might gain traction.
2) Even if #1 isn't true, discovery would be a PR disaster, considering Britt Reid's history, the likelihood that he was drinking on-site, and the rapid turnover on NFL rosters that means a lot of ex-players and other staff have dirt to spill - especially since BR is inevitably perceived as a nepotism hire.
3) As bad as discovery would be, a trial would be even worse.
4) As bad as discovery and a trial would be, handing this case to a jury could be worse than either.
5) Because of 1-4, the League will REALLY want this to go away, with no admission of wrongdoing and praise for the NFL's generosity toward the family.
If there are civil charges, I'm sure the lawyers will be heading straight for the deep pockets of the Chiefs and maybe even the NFL.
