Chiefs’ wide receiver Rashee Rice violates probation, will serve 30 days in jail

(KANSAS CITY, MO) - The Kansas City Chiefs will be without starting wide receiver Rashee Rice during their OTAs and Mandatory Minicamp over the coming weeks as Rice has been sentenced to 30 days in jail.

According to ESPN reports, Rice tested 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 for the third-degree felony of racing and causing bodily injury.

Rice was booked at 1:25 p.m. ET, per Dallas County jail records. He is set to be released on June 16.

The NFL suspended Rice for six games last season due to violating the league's personal conduct policy.

Rice's case is scheduled to go to trial June 9.
