Governor commutes sentence of Andy Reid’s son in DWI crash that severely injured child

Missouri Governor Mike Parson just commuted the sentence of Britt Reid, per KC TV Channel 5 News.

Reid, 38, the son of Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, was sentenced to three years in prison in November 2022 after pleading guilty to driving while intoxicated in connection with the Kansas City crash.

He had faced up to four years in prison as part of a plea deal. Prior to taking the guilty plea, he faced up to seven years in prison.

“Britt Reid was sentenced to three years in the Missouri Department of Corrections after he was convicted in a DUI crash that severely injured five-year-old Ariel Young.

The former coach pleaded guilty in September 2022 to driving while intoxicated causing bodily injury.

Five family members were injured in the crash. Ariel received the most attention because her injuries were so extensive.”

Reid will be under house arrest until Oct. 31, 2025, “with strict conditions of probation, including weekly meetings with a parole officer, weekly behavioral counseling attendance, weekly meetings with a peer support sponsor, and stringent community service and employment requirements,” the statement continued. “Additionally, Reid’s probation requires the installation of an ignition interlock system in any motor vehicle he operates.”

I am sorry but this is pretty sad. The only reason he was commuted his sentence is because who he is, because he has a history of making bad decisions.
