Reid was involved in a crash on Feb. 4, 2021 that left 5-year-old Ariel Young with traumatic brain injuries.
The family of a young girl left with traumatic injuries is reportedly “outraged” by his plea deal. Per Dan Wetzel of Yahoo Sports, “As part of Britt Reid’s DUI plea deal from 2021 incident that left [5 year-old] Ariel Young severely injured, prosecutors will not seek more than 4 years in prison.”
Adding, the “Victims [attorney] blasted the deal with former KC Chiefs assistant, said family is ‘outraged.'”
According to KCTV5, Reid’s sentence could be only 120 days in prison with probation for the remainder of his sentence if he qualifies for good behavior.

Ariel Young’s family said they did not believe the plea deal was right. Mother Felicia Miller, who briefly let the judge know she did not approve, and other family members wore shirts with “Justice for Ariel” written on them.
Britt Reid apologized during Monday morning’s court appearance.
“I regret what I did. I made a huge mistake. I apologize to the family. I didn’t mean to hurt anyone,” he said.
Reid did not address where he drank alcohol the night of the crash, only stating he was trying to merge between two semi-trucks.
Ariel suffered a traumatic brain injury and was hospitalized for weeks. In November, the girl’s family and the Chiefs announced they had reached a care plan for the child.
