Missouri Governor Commutes Britt Reid's Prison Sentence for DWI Crash Injuring Young Girl

Missouri Governor Mike Parson commuted former Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid's three-year prison sentence for a 2021 drunk driving crash that left a 5-year-old girl in a coma, converting the remainder to house arrest until Oct. 31, 2025, citing completion of alcohol abuse treatment and serving more prison time than similar offenders. Reid had admitted to drinking before the crash and pleaded guilty to felony DWI. The decision has sparked criticism, with a state representative and the young girl's attorney questioning the justification for the commutation.
