Surprising Commutation
The surprising decision to commute Reid’s sentence was announced by a spokesperson for Parson, stating that Reid had completed his alcohol abuse treatment program and had served more prison time than most individuals convicted of similar offenses.
Conditions of House Arrest
As part of the commutation, Reid will be on house arrest until October 31, 2025. He will need to adhere to a strict set of conditions, including working at least 30 hours a week, undergoing random drug screenings, and completing a minimum of 10 hours of community service each month. Additionally, Reid is prohibited from contacting Young or her family members.
Background of the Case
Reid faced criminal charges after authorities reported that he was intoxicated days before the Chiefs vs. Buccaneers Super Bowl in 2021 and crashed his pickup truck into the car Young was traveling in. It was alleged that Reid was driving at 83.9 MPH in a 65 MPH zone just before the accident and had a BAC of .113 two hours following the crash. Dash cam footage from the scene showed Reid wearing a Chiefs COVID mask and sweatshirt.
Reid’s Employment and Legal Proceedings
Following the incident, Reid lost his job with the Kansas City NFL franchise and did not return to the league before commencing his sentence in November 2022. There has been no response from the Young family’s attorney regarding the recent decision.
