(KANSAS CITY, MO) –  Former Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Britt Reid was sentenced Tuesday to three years in prison, from charges for driving drunk, speeding, and crashing into two parked vehicles.

Which resulted in a five-year-old girl being left with a serious brain injury.

Reid, who had a blood-alcohol level 0.113 % two hours after the crash, pleaded guilty in September to driving while intoxicated causing serious bodily injury.

The charge has a maximum penalty of seven years in prison, but prosecutors agreed to ask for a maximum sentence of four years.

Reid was seeking probation, while the family of the injured girl opposed the plea deal.

He was set to be taken into custody after Circuit Judge Charles H. McKenzie sentenced Reid Tuesday.

The Chiefs placed him on administrative leave following the crash, and his time with the team ended after his contract was allowed to expire.

The team reached a confidential agreement with the victims family in November to pay for expenses and ongoing medical treatments.

This was not Reid’s first run-in with legal issues, he graduated from a drug treatment program in Pennsylvania in 2009 after a series of interactions with law enforcement while his father was the coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.
