Tia Jones' fiancé Xavier Worthy arrested: Everything we know about NFL star's criminal assault charge

Tia Jones' fiancé Xavier Worthy has been arrested by police in Williamson County, Texas. According to jail records, he was arrested on a charge of assaulting a family or household member in which their breathing was impeded, with the offense dated March 7, 2025.

Worthy, who has emerged as a key performer for the Chiefs in their offense, had a remarkable rookie season, registering 59 receptions for 638 yards and six touchdowns for the team after being chosen as the 28th pick in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.

However, Xavier Worthy could face a huge setback in both his athletic career and personal life following the charge. While the identity of the complainant has not been revealed, Worthy’s representatives have released an official statement where they accused the complainant of infidelity and alleged that the accusations against the NFL player are baseless.

Take a look at the official statement here:

“We are aware of the allegation that led to Mr. Worthy's arrest. We are working with law enforcement in Williamson County to ensure they have the benefit of the totality of circumstances that led to this allegation. The complainant was recently asked to vacate Mr. Worthy's residence upon discovery of her infidelity. She has refused to do so and made a number of extortive efforts prior to resorting to this baseless allegation against Mr. Worthy.”

“We will continue to cooperate with the Williamson County authorities as we have full faith that their thorough investigation will support Mr. Worthy's innocence,” the statement further read.
