Kansas City Chiefs’ Rashee Rice handed legal break as alleged victim wants charges dropped

Kansas City Chiefs superstar Rashee Rice could be set for a legal boost amid claims the person he allegedly assaulted wants to drop charges.

The man alleged that Rice assaulted him at a Dallas nightspot earlier this month. As detailed by ProFootballTalk, the police report details how the complainant said Rice asked him to return to the club via text before punching him.

The report suggested the victim had “visible swelling on one side of his face,” but Tom Pelissero of NFL Media has now reported that the man has signed an affidavit withdrawing the report.

The complainant is now said to have dubbed the incident a ‘misunderstanding’, and he wants the charges dropped.

In the meantime, Rice has joined the Chiefs for their OTAs, which began on Monday, but question marks still hang over his future. The wide receiver still faces eight charges over his involvement in a high-speed car crash in Dallas earlier this year.
