DALLAS. Kansas City Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice was ordered to serve 30 days in jail this week after court records show he tested positive for THC, violating the terms of his deferred probation tied to a high-speed crash on March 30, 2024. The jail term had been part of his July plea agreement and was activated following the positive test. This week’s custody action followed Rice’s July guilty plea that imposed five years of deferred probation and a 30-day jail condition; prosecutors say the positive marijuana test constituted a violation. The immediate consequences include Rice entering custody, a potential absence from upcoming offseason workouts and minicamp, and enforcement of restitution measures reported previously.
