Justyn Ross bonds out, charged with misdemeanor domestic battery and property damage

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - After he was arrested Monday afternoon on suspicion of property damage, Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross has been charged.

Ross was charged in Johnson County District Court with domestic battery and property damage of less than $1,000, both misdemeanors.

A criminal complaint accused Ross of “unlawfully and knowingly cause physical with a person in a rude, insulting, or angry manner” against a woman with whom he had a relationship.

The Johnson County Sheriff’s Office initially booked Ross into custody at 4:27 p.m. Monday on allegations of criminal damages exceeding $25,000. Court records said Ross was arrested at 2:54 p.m. in Shawnee, Kansas, and included a note denoting the arrest as a domestic violence incident.

He made his first appearance in court Tuesday at 1:30 p.m. He was released Tuesday on a $2,500 bond, and he is due again in court on Dec. 4.

KCTV reached out for comment from the Chiefs and has not heard back yet. The team told the Associated Press that it was aware of the arrest but had no comment.

Ross has been on the Chiefs’ active roster for all seven games in the 2023 regular season. He’s caught three es for 34 yards this season and had the fourth-most snaps of any Chiefs wide receiver during Sunday’s 31-17 win over the Los Angeles Chargers.

He caught two touchdowns during preseason action for Kansas City.

Ross signed a three-year, $2.56 million contract with the Chiefs on May 6, 2022, after going undrafted out of Clemson. He didn’t play during the 2022 season as he recovered from injury.
