Two Kansas City Chiefs offensive linemen were arrested late Thursday night for misdemeanor marijuana possession.
Two Kansas City Chiefs offensive linemen were arrested late Thursday night for misdemeanor marijuana possession.
Wanya Morris, a 2023 third-round pick, and Chukwuebuka Godrick, an International Pathway Player, were taken into custody in Johnson County, Kansas, and booked into the Johnson County Adult Detention Center just before 2 a.m. local time on Friday morning. They were released after posting $2,500 bond.
Both players are due in court next Thursday. The Chiefs told ESPN they were aware of the arrest but had no comment.
Morris appeared in 14 games this season, starting four. He was a special-teamer in the AFC title game and Super Bowl. Godwick entered the NFL as a designated International Pathway Player this past season.
The arrests come during a rather tumultuous week for members of the Chiefs. Earlier this week, kicker Harrison Butker's speech at Benedictine College's commencement ceremony garnered controversy.
Butker urged women to embrace the title of "homemaker," saying they have been told "diabolical lies." He also went after President Biden and criticized cultural values and media.
The Chiefs' first-round wide receiver, Xavier Worthy, also had his car stolen from his Kansas City apartment complex this week.
The Chiefs won the Super Bowl this past February for the second year in a row, becoming the first team to go back-to-back since the New England Patriots earlier in this century. They defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, in overtime, in a game that went past regulation.
Kansas City also beat the Niners in Super Bowl LIV back in 2020.
