Will criminal charges be filed this week against Britt Reid? He’s the former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach involved in a crash that left a 5 year-old girl in a coma.
That was over two months ago.
Now the Kansas City Police Department says it has completed its investigation and handed the case to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
An early police report claimed Reid confessed to having “two or three drinks” before leaving the Arrowhead Stadium complex and was taking the prescription drug Adderall.

NEW BERLIN New Berlin voters will fill three open spots on the school board Tuesday.
There are five candidates running for the three open positions that are on the school board for a four-year term: Holly Kotner, Jennifer Mann, Casey Binkley, David Bridges and Andrew Brashear.
Kotner said she is running for a position on the school board because she has five children in the school district and would like to volunteer her time.
She grew up in New Berlin and graduated high school there.
“I will do my absolute best to put the children first and foremost,” Kotner said. “I grew up in the town and I think we have an amazing school district. We have a lot of room for growth and I hope that people will put their trust in me to make decisions that are in best interest to our kids.”
