Per a recent report from WFAA Dallas , police say Marijuana was found in the vehicle Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was driving in an accident that’s currently under investigation.
Per GH Media files, Rice’s attorney recently admitted Rice was the driver of the Lamborghini:
“Attorney Royce West says Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice was indeed driving the Lamborghini when it crashed last Saturday in Dallas, and he is “fully cooperating” with the police…
Attorney West gave a press conference about the incident. “Mr. Rice is going to everything within his power to bring their lives back to as normal as possible regarding injuries and property damage.”
According to WFAA Dallas, police say they found 10.8 grams of marijuana in the vehicle:
Per a recently obtained police report — 10.8 grams of marijuana was found in the Lamborghini Rice was driving
The original report stated there was enough marijuana found in the vehicle to warrant a felony.
GH reached out to WFAA to verify the amount of marijuana found in the vehicle. The police report states that 10.8 grams of marijuana were found. That amount would be enough for a low-level misdemeanor.
UPDATE – Rashee Rice
Ok I'm not comfortable with what I found on this report about the marijuana reportedly found in Rashee Rice's car.
First, if the amount was 10.8 *grams* then this is NOT a felony, but instead is the lowest level misdemeanor on the books. That's a Class B…

Rice said he took “full responsibility” and apologized for his part in the incident.
Per Fox 2 Now, Rice’s attorney said this one incident shouldn’t define the player’s character:
“You call them spoiled, entitled,” West began about the NFL wide receiver.
“Why don’t you do a story of who he is, as opposed to what occurred? Because it seems as though what you’re saying is based on this one incident, you’re going to define him based on this incident, as opposed to his entire body of work.
“I would say each and every one of you, if all of us had to be defined by one incident, that would be ridiculous, as opposed to our entire body. So I’d ask that you as the media, look at his entire body of work before saying exactly who he is. That will be better.”
The NFL is monitoring the investigation.
