Former Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney is facing serious legal trouble after his pregnant girlfriend accused him of assaulting her while she was holding their daughter. Newly released 911 audio, obtained by TMZ Sports, reveals the terrifying details of the alleged attack, which took place on January 14 in Douglasville, Georgia.

The woman, who was seven months pregnant at the time, called 911 at 12:01 PM, sounding clearly distressed as she explained to dispatchers what had just happened. She told the operator that she and Toney had been in an argument when he suddenly turned violent.

According to the 911 call, the woman stated that Toney “put his hands on me while I was holding my daughter.” When asked if she needed medical attention, she declined, saying she wasn’t experiencing contractions or any immediate medical distress.

Fearing for her safety, she fled the house barefoot, seeking refuge at a neighbor’s home. “I had to run over here barefoot,” she said in the recording, indicating the urgency with which she escaped the situation.

Police arrived on the scene and later documented visible injuries on the woman, including red marks on her neck and petechial hemorrhaging in her eyes—physical signs commonly associated with strangulation. According to the official report, Toney also took her phone away, preventing her from calling 911 sooner.

Following the incident, police issued an arrest warrant for Toney on January 15. However, it wasn’t until February 6 that he was taken into custody and booked on two charges:

  • Aggravated assault-strangulation
  • Obstructing/harassing 911 calls

Toney’s bond was set at $25,000 per charge, totaling $50,000. Jail records show that he posted bail and was released from custody by February 7.

Toney, a former first-round draft pick, played a key role in the Kansas City Chiefs’ back-to-back Super Bowl victories alongside Patrick Mahomes.

Despite his talent on the field, his career has been marred by injuries and off-field issues. Now, with these serious allegations hanging over him, his future in the NFL is in question.

Sources within the league confirm that the NFL is actively monitoring the situation, and a potential suspension or disciplinary action could follow depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings.

As of now, Kadarius Toney has not publicly commented on the allegations. His legal team has also remained silent regarding the case.

The charges against Toney are significant, and if convicted, he could face severe legal consequences, including potential jail time. Domestic violence allegations are taken seriously by the NFL, and past cases have shown that even before a conviction, players often face penalties such as suspensions or contract terminations.

This incident adds to the growing list of NFL players facing accusations of domestic violence. The league has implemented stricter policies over the years to address such issues, but cases like Toney’s continue to surface, raising concerns about the effectiveness of those measures.

Meanwhile, the woman involved in the case is left dealing with the traumatic experience while pregnant and caring for her young child. With physical evidence documented by the police, her accusations are being treated with significant weight in the ongoing legal process.

For now, Toney remains a free agent with an uncertain future—both in football and in the courtroom.
