Ex Chiefs Assistant Britt Reid Gets His DUI Sentence Reduced

Please, just for a moment, recall the precise actions that Britt Reid took.

This disgusting tale is still developing, and naturally, a lot of it centres on Reid’s incredible privilege in having his prison term reduced last week. Reid, the son of Kansas City coach Andy Reid, was actually discreetly let go last Friday morning, the Kansas City Star claimed, hours before his situation became public knowledge.

Ex-Chiefs Assistant Britt Reid Gets His DUI Sentence Reduced

For the Reid family, this was almost a present, given months in advance of Christmas. If you seek up “privilege” in the dictionary, you’ll find Britt, who was able to put the harm he caused to 5-year-old Ariel Young by driving while intoxicated, behind him and cruise home.

He didn’t even go a mile when he slammed his pickup truck into two parked automobiles on the side of an interstate on-ramp at 84 miles per hour. When one automobile needed assistance, the other one arrived.

That day, Britt Reid hurt six people, including himself. Four of them, including a 4-year-old child, were first admitted to the hospital in critical condition.

In the end, Reid’s sentence to jail was reduced from the maximum seven years to three years through a plea agreement. That infuriated Ariel’s family, but things only grew worse. Even little repercussions didn’t stay in this narrative, like everything else seemed to.

It’s possible that other offenders who have almost killed a young child have had their sentences reduced. I would want to view those instances and contrast them with Reid’s. They must not exist, I suppose, because not everyone is the Super Bowl coach’s kid shielded by a dreadful governor.

Attorney Tom Porto for Ariel’s family stated, “The family is disgusted, I am disgusted, and I believe that the majority of the people in the state of Missouri are disgusted by the governor’s actions.” “If you drink and drive and you put a little girl in a coma, you should have to serve the entire sentence that a judge of this state gave you.”

Following barely 16 months of service, Missouri Governor Mike Parson commuting Reid’s sentence last week. Since then, Parson has refrained from giving an explanation to the local media. When a comment was requested, his office did not react.

Can your son be released from prison early with three Super Bowl victories? Maybe. The Chiefs operate a self-described kingdom in Kansas City. In opposition to it, what does a governor matter?

“It seems the laws don’t apply equally to the haves and have-nots,” Ariel’s mother, Felicia Miller said in a statement. “The haves get favors. The have-nots serve their sentence.”

2008 saw him enter a guilty plea to DUI and drug-related charges stemming from a completely unrelated event when he was being held without bond following a road rage charge.

Reid admitted to waving a pistol at another car in a 2007 incident involving road rage. His jail term ranged from eight to twenty-three months.

And keep all of it in mind.

Where is Britt Reid now?

He received a sentence of three years in jail on November 1, 2022. A few hours before Parson’s office made public his commutation, Britt Reid was freed from jail on Friday at 10:40 a.m., according to the Missouri Department of Corrections. He’ll be under home arrest for the remainder of his sentence.

Is Britt Reid still married?

However, Parson’s choice was made at a time when Britt and his wife, Kristen Reid, were involved in a contentious divorce. In May, Kristen Reid sued for sole custody of the couple’s three children.

Is Britt Reid related to Andy Reid?

Reid, the son of Chiefs coach Andy Reid, admitted to driving while drunk and causing severe bodily harm. He was sentenced to 16 months of a three-year term.
