Chiefs' Xavier Worthy Faces Protective Order After Assault Allegations

A Texas judge granted a temporary protective order to the accuser, despite the district attorney declining to press charges last week.

Xavier Worthy, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver, was arrested last week on allegations of assault involving a family or household member by impeding breath or circulation.
The Williamson County District Attorney declined to press charges after reviewing evidence and witness statements, but the case remains under evaluation for potential future action.
The accuser, Tia Jones, was granted a temporary ex-parte protective order on Wednesday, which can last up to 20 days, citing Worthy's alleged violent actions on March 7, 2025.
Worthy's attorneys claim he is the victim, accusing Jones of infidelity, property damage, and physical aggression, including scratching his face and pulling out his hair, supported by photographic evidence.
The Kansas City Chiefs have acknowledged the situation and are conducting their own review while Worthy denies all allegations against him.
