The woman who accused the Kansas City Chiefs’ Xavier Worthy of attacking her last week has been granted a protective order against the wide receiver.
In a statement that was provided to the Associated Press on Wednesday night, an attorney for Tia Jones confirmed the order. Jones is also “fully cooperating with law enforcement as they continue to actively investigate the violence that occurred,” according to their addition. Angelica Cogliano, one of Jones’s attorneys, said, “Ms Jones has chosen to use her voice to speak up for herself.” “She looks forward to the facts and circumstances of that night coming to light through the formal legal process and getting the justice she deserves in doing so.” Worthy was arrested last Friday and held on a charge of assault on a family or household member in which their breath was impeded, or choking in common terms. When Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick announced that his office had spoken with witnesses and was not accepting the case at that time, he was released the following day. Williamson County includes parts of Austin, where Worthy played college football at the University of Texas.
Worthy’s attorneys, Chip Lewis and Sam Bassett said in a statement that their client wasn’t guilty of the charge that was made against him. They said the allegation was made by a woman who had been living in Worthy’s home, and that she had been asked to leave multiple times over the last two weeks “upon discovery of her infidelity.”
“She has refused to vacate the residence and made several extortive attempts before resorting to this baseless allegation against Mr.,” the lawyers claim. Worthy.” “There is photographic evidence of the complainant destroying a room in the residence, scratching Mr. Worthy’s face, and ripping out parts of his hair from him. Worthy informed authorities at the time of the incident that he did not intend to press charges against the complainant. On Saturday, the Chiefs stated that they were aware of the circumstances and were still gathering information. Worthy was selected by the Chiefs with the 28th overall pick in the draft last year after setting a record for the fastest 40-yard dash at the NFL combine. He got off to a fast start in his NFL debut with two touchdowns. He became the Chiefs’ primary wide receiver during their attempt to win an unprecedented third Super Bowl after a lull in the middle of the season. Worthy ran for 104 yards and three more touchdowns and had 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns. He was one of the few bright spots for the Chiefs in their 40-22 loss to Philadelphia in the Super Bowl. At the New Orleans Superdome, Worthy caught all eight of his targets for 157 yards and two touchdowns.
