Chiefs wide receiver Justyn Ross was arrested Monday in suburban Kansas City and is accused of causing criminal damage of more than $25,000. That’s according to a booking report from the sheriff’s office in Johnson County, Kansas. The report does not provide any details or indicate whether bond was set. The Chiefs said they were aware of the arrest but declined to comment. The 23-year-old Ross has appeared in all seven games with three catches for 34 yards this season. He spent all of last season on injured reserve after having foot surgery.
