Britt Reid has been serving time in prison for the DUI crash that left 5-year-old Ariel Young with a traumatic brain injury.
Rather than having the son of Kansas City Chiefs coach Andy Reid finish serving his three-year sentence, Gov. Mike Parsons of Missouri on Friday commuted Britt Reid’s sentence to house arrest.
The governor’s office said Reid will be released, and he will serve the remainder of his sentence, until Oct. 31, 2025, under house arrest.
“Reid has completed his alcohol abuse treatment program and has served more prison time than most individuals convicted of similar offenses,” Parson’s office said in a statement.
