Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s decision to commute ex-Kansas City Chiefs assistant Britt Reid’s sentence has the attorney of a young girl injured in the drunken car wreck fuming. 

Reid, the son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, pleaded guilty to driving while intoxicated in 2022 after driving his Dodge truck about 84 mph in a 65 mph zone into two cars on an entrance ramp to Interstate 435 near Arrowhead Stadium Feb. 4, 2021. 

Among the injured was 5-year-old Ariel Young, who fell into an 11-day coma and continues to deal with life-changing injuries due to the accident. A girl who was 4 years old at the time was among four others seriously injured.

Reid received a three-year prison sentence after accepting a plea deal on initial charges that carried a maximum penalty of seven years in prison. However, Parson reduced Reid’s prison sentence, and he’ll serve the remainder of his three years on house arrest, which will end Oct. 31. 

He will also be required to attend weekly meetings with a parole officer and peer support sponsor, while participating in behavioral counseling among other conditions.

Tom Porto, an attorney for Ariel and her family, told Yahoo Sports why he believes Gov. Parson, who hasn’t addressed the media about his decision, commuted Reid’s sentence.
