Following Xavier Worthy’s arrest, Tia Jones filed for and received a temporary protective order against the Kansas City Chiefs receiver:
While criminal charges could possibly come later, a protective order has been granted against the Chiefs wide receiver as investigations continue.
Jones’s attorneys announced Wednesday via Cory Mose of KVUE that she has obtained a temporary protective order against the Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver.
Worthy, arrested on March 7 in Texas on allegations of assault involving a family or household member, was held in jail before being released.
Attorneys representing Tia Jones have emphasized that she is fully cooperating with authorities as the investigation unfolds against Xavier Worthy.
Tia Jones’ attorney released the following statement:
“Today, Tia Jones filed an application for a protective order against Xavier Worthy, based [on] his violent actions against her culminating on the night of March 7, 2025,” the statement explains. “Based upon the truthful information provided by Ms. Jones, a judge has granted a temporary protective order on her behalf. She is fully cooperating with law enforcement as they continue to actively investigate the violence that occurred that night.
“Ms. Jones has chosen to use her voice to speak up for herself. In so doing, she looks forward to the facts and circumstances of that night coming to light through the formal legal process and getting the justice that she deserves. She appreciates the support that she has received thus far.”
Worthy’s attorney also responded:
We are aware of the civil court (not criminal court) filing by Ms. Jones and her criminal defense team,” they said in a release issued to PFT. “Mr. Worthy denies each of the allegations by Ms. Jones. Unfortunately, false allegations continue to be made, this time in civil court. Today the accuser returned items stolen from Mr. Worthy’s residence while he was in jail and there are items still missing from when he was incarcerated. Mr. Worthy maintains his innocence and stands by the conclusions of the District Attorney after law enforcement’s review of Ms. Jones’ unfounded allegations.”
Here is a look at Worthy’s stats in 2024:
