Gov. commutes prison sentence for ex-Chiefs asst. Britt Reid - ESPN

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Missouri Gov. Mike Parson on Friday shortened the prison sentence of former Kansas City Chiefs assistant Britt Reid, the son of coach Andy, for a drunken driving crash that seriously injured a 5-year-old girl in 2021.

Parson's commutation converted the remainder of Reid's three-year prison sentence to house arrest, subject to several conditions. Reid had been sentenced in November 2022 after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury.

A Parson spokesman said the governor considered several factors when making this decision.

«Reid had completed his alcohol abuse treatment program and has served more prison time than most individuals convicted of similar offenses,» Parson spokesman Johnathan Shiflett said.

Reid's house arrest will continue until Oct. 31, 2025, with requirements for weekly meetings with a parole officer and peer support sponsor and attendance at behavioral counseling. He also will be required to work at least 30 hours a week and complete 10 hours a month of community service, among other things.

Chiefs spokespeople did not immediately respond to phone and email messages Friday seeking comment about the commutation from the team or Andy Reid.

Prosecutors said Reid was intoxicated and driving about 84 mph in a 65 mph zone when his Dodge truck hit the cars on an entrance ramp to Interstate 435 near Arrowhead Stadium on Feb. 4, 2021.

A girl inside one of the cars, Ariel Young, suffered a traumatic brain injury. A total of six people, including Reid, were injured. One of the vehicles he hit had stalled because of a dead battery, and the second was owned by Ariel's mother, who had arrived to help.

Reid had a blood-alcohol level of 0.113% two hours after the
