After his arrest on Monday afternoon on suspicion of property damage, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross has been charged in Johnson County District Court with domestic battery and property damage of less than $1,000, both misdemeanor charges. The criminal complaint accused Ross of “unlawfully and knowingly cause physical contact with a person in a rude, insulting, or angry manner” against a woman with whom he had a relationship.
Court records said Ross was arrested at 2:54 p.m. in Shawnee, Kansas on Monday, denoting the arrest as a domestic violence incident. Ross was initially booked into custody at 4:27 p.m. Monday at the Johnson County Sheriff’s Office on allegations of criminal damages exceeding $25,000.
Ross signed a three-year, $2.56 million contract with the Chiefs on May 6, 2022, after going undrafted out of Clemson. He didn’t play during the 2022 season as he recovered from injury. Ross has been on the Chiefs’ active roster for all seven games in the 2023 regular season. He’s caught three passes for 34 yards this season and had the fourth-most snaps of any Chiefs wide receiver during Sunday’s 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.
