On Monday afternoon, second-year Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross was booked by the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.

The Court records reflect that Ross violated K.S.A. 21-5813(b)(1) which says, "(b) Aggravated criminal damage to property is criminal damage toproperty, as defined in subsection (a)(1), if the value or amount ofdamage exceeds $5,000, committed with the intent to obtain: (1) Currency upon a remote service unit as defined in K.S.A.9-1111, and amendments thereto, including, but not limited to, any automated cash dispensing machine or automated teller machine"

Details are unknown at the present time, but the language of the statute could point to potential damage to an ATM or similar machine. This is based solely on the booking information, which can be inaccurate and/or changed as prosecutors review the incident.

Ross is a second-year wideout for the Chiefs who went from an injured reserve stash last season to a spot on the active roster this year. Ross has a total of 3 catches for 34 yards in very limited snaps for the Chiefs so far this season.

The Chiefs have not made any official statement on the matter. More details will be provided when available.
