Chiefs CB Bashaud Breeland faces multiple charges in South Carolina

Kansas City Chiefs cornerback Bashaud Breeland was arrested on multiple charges Tuesday in York County, South Carolina, a sheriff's officer said.

Breeland, 28, faces charges of resisting arrest, having alcohol in a motor vehicle with the seal broken, having an open container of beer or wine in a motor vehicle, possession of 28 grams or less of marijuana or 10 grams of hash, and driving without a license.

He explained his side of what happened in a pair of tweets, saying he had been approached by "two guys" who threw something at his car.

The Chiefs said they were aware of the situation but would have no further comment. Breeland's agent, Brad Leshnock, did not return a message requesting comment.

After four seasons with the Washington Redskins and one with the Green Bay Packers, Breeland joined the Chiefs on a one-year contract as a free agent last season. He started 15 regular-season games, plus three in the playoffs. Breeland had an interception in the Chiefs' Super Bowl LIV victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Breeland recently re-signed with the Chiefs on another one-year contract.
