Britt Reid, disgraced son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, has his sentence commuted – 15 months after he was convicted in a DUI crash that severely injured a five-year-old girl

Britt Reid, the son of Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, has had his three-year prison sentence for drunken driving commuted by Missouri’s governor.

Reid was sentenced after pleading guilty in September 2022 to drink-driving causing bodily harm.

The crash injured five others, including five-year-old Ariel Young, who was seriously injured in the wreck.

Ariel’s mother, Felicia Miller, believed Reid should have received the maximum sentence before taking a plea deal.

Under that deal, he faced up to four years in prison for the crime, but he served less than half of that time.

Reid pleaded guilty to driving under the influence after crashing into a car carrying 5-year-old Ariel Young and other passengers. Four people were injured while Young was left in a coma and with a brain injury.

In a statement, Missouri Governor Mike Parson said: “Mr. Reid completed his alcohol abuse treatment program and has served more prison time than most individuals convicted of similar crimes.

‘Mr. Reid is under house arrest until October 31, 2025, with strict probation conditions including weekly meetings with a probation officer, weekly behavioral health attendance, weekly meetings with a peer support sponsor and strict community service and employment requirements.

‘A full overview of the terms and conditions of the buyout can be found in the attached letter.’

Those conditions include getting a job where he works at least 30 hours a week, installing an ignition interlock system in every vehicle he drives, random substance screenings, weekly meetings with a probation officer, attending behavioral health counseling, meeting with a peer support sponsor, and completing at least 10 hours of community service per week.

Reid is also prohibited from contacting the victim or her family unless required to do so by law.

According to court records, Reid’s blood alcohol level was 0.113. Just before the crash he was also driving at a speed of 130 km/h.

Field sobriety tests indicated that Reid was impaired, with an officer noting that his eyes were bloodshot and that he had an odor of alcohol coming from him.

It was not until April 2023 that video of the incident was released, showing Reid trying to use his cell phone after being removed from his car.

Reid asked officers if the passengers in the other car were okay, apparently unaware that Ariel Young was in a coma and suffered a traumatic brain injury.

Young’s mother said she didn’t wake up for two weeks after the crash and had to relearn how to walk, talk and eat.

After the accident, Reid was fired from his position as the team’s linebacker coach and it was eventually revealed that he had been drinking alcohol at the team facility before the wreck.
