"Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice has been sentenced to serve 30 days in jail after testing positive for marijuana in violation of the terms of his probation for his role in a crash that left multiple people injured on a Dallas highway two years ago."
"The Texas State Attorney's Office said Tuesday that Rice was ordered to go to jail now as part of his original sentence last July when he pleaded guilty to third-degree felony charges of collision involving serious bodily injury and racing on a highway causing bodily injury."
"As part of a plea agreement last summer, Rice was sentenced to five years of deferred probation and 30 days in jail as a condition of his probation, prosecutors said at the time."
"On March 30, 2024, Rice was driving a Lamborghini Urus SUV at 119 mph (191 kph) when he made "multiple aggressive maneuvers around traffic" and struck other vehicles, prosecutors said. Prosecutors said that after the crash on North Central Expressway, Rice failed to check on the welfare of those in the other vehicles and fled on foot."
