OVERLAND PARK, Kan. — Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay was arrested Wednesday night by the Overland Park police and charged with misdemeanor criminal property damage of less than $1,000.
Gay remained Thursday morning in the detention center in Johnson County, Kansas. He was scheduled to appear before a judge Thursday afternoon, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office in Johnson County said.
Gay’s agents, Maxx Lepsettler and Ryan Rubin, said in a statement that Gay was visiting his son when he got into an argument with the child’s mother, who called police.
A police report estimated the total property damage at $225 for a vacuum cleaner, cellphone screen protector, humidifier and damage to a wall and door frame.
The Chiefs said they were aware of Gay’s arrest.
Gay, the Chiefs’ second-round draft pick in 2020, started 11 games this season plus the Chiefs’ wild-card round playoff win last weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has two interceptions and 0.5 sacks.
Kansas City hosts the Buffalo Bills in the AFC divisional playoff on Sunday.
