Ariel Young’s Lawyer Accuses Missouri Governor of Being a “Chiefs Fan” After Britt Reid’s Release From Jail

On February 4, 2021, Andy Reid’s son Britt Reid, a former assistant for the Kansas City Chiefs, was working at the team facility. On that day, Britt allegedly consumed alcohol while on duty and later attempted to drive home. He reportedly had crashed his pickup truck, traveling at 84 miles per hour, into two parked cars on an interstate on-ramp, just a mile away from the facility.

The parked cars were assisting one another, with one experiencing various issues. By that time, it was reported that he had a blood alcohol level of 0.113%, while the legal limit in Missouri was 0.08%. The collision resulted in injuries to six people, including Britt himself. Four of the victims were initially hospitalized in serious conditions, including a 4-year-old girl.

As per reports, the fifth victim, 5-year-old Ariel Young, slipped into an 11-day coma, facing severe challenges. Britt Reid was reportedly given a seven-year imprisonment. However, as a part of a plea deal, this tenure was reduced to three years.

The lenient punishment angered Ariel’s family. However, as per new reports now, it has made the situation even worse. According to the updates, “Last week, Missouri Governor Mike Parson commuted Britt Reid’s sentence after just 16 months served.”

The governor didn’t provide a public explanation for this decision, and Ariel’s attorney Tom Porto, believes he knows the reason behind Britt Reid’s early release. As per Porto, “It’s because the Governor of Missouri is a Chiefs fan, went to the Super Bowl, went to the after parties, went to the parade and the rally, and even has a Chiefs tattoo.”

Additionally, Young’s mother, Felicia Miller, said, “It seems the laws don’t apply equally to the haves and have-nots. The haves get favors. The have-nots serve their sentence.” This also brings attention to the condition of the little girl, who per reports, is not in good shape at the moment.

What’s the status of the victim child?

In November 2021, the Chiefs settled with Ariel Young’s family for an undisclosed amount, agreeing to cover her lifelong medical expenses. The now 8-year-old still faces challenges including “balance issues, vision problems, and attends special needs classes,” as told by her attorney Tom Porto.

As per the family, they received the news of the Governor’s early exit via news and allegedly got no direct apology from Mike Parson. However, one update has come till now, justifying the early exit decision stating Britt Reid’s completion of an “alcohol abuse treatment” program during his prison term. No further updates surround the early release from the Governor’s end.
