Rashee Rice’s Mother Arrested for a Second Time, Mugshot Released in Mail Theft Case
Kansas City, Missouri – December 2025
The family of Rashee Rice, wide receiver for the Kansas City Chiefs, is once again at the center of unwanted attention after his mother was arrested for a second time in connection with a mail theft case, with authorities also releasing a new mugshot late Tuesday evening.
According to court records and local law enforcement, Marsha Kearney, Rice’s mother, was taken into custody after allegedly violating conditions tied to her previous charge for mail theft, a felony offense involving the unlawful removal of packages from private property. The second arrest reportedly stems from a related incident uncovered during an ongoing investigation, prompting prosecutors to move forward with additional action.
Kearney was initially charged earlier this year after surveillance footage appeared to show her removing a package from a neighbor’s front porch. That case drew national attention after the first mugshot was released and widely circulated across social media and sports news platforms, placing an uncomfortable spotlight on the Chiefs receiver during his own injury recovery.

Law enforcement officials confirmed that Kearney turned herself in following the issuance of the new warrant. She now faces renewed scrutiny as the case proceeds, with potential penalties increasing due to the repeat nature of the offense.
The release of the second mugshot has reignited public discussion online, with reactions ranging from sympathy for Rice to criticism over repeated legal trouble. Many fans have expressed concern for the impact the situation may have on the young receiver, who has remained publicly silent throughout the ordeal.
Neither Rashee Rice nor the Chiefs organization has issued a formal statement regarding the latest arrest. Team sources, however, reiterated that the situation is considered a personal family matter and is not expected to affect Rice’s standing with the franchise.
Legal experts note that repeat offenses in mail theft cases can carry significantly harsher consequences, depending on jurisdiction and prior compliance with court orders. Further court dates are expected to be scheduled in the coming weeks.
As the Chiefs continue their season, the incident serves as a stark reminder that off-field developments — even those outside a player’s control — can quickly become part of the NFL spotlight. For now, attention remains focused on the legal process ahead and how the situation will ultimately be resolved.
