Former Dallas Cowboys<\/a> defensive back Kelvin Joseph<\/a> has been arrested in connection to a fatal crash that left one person dead, according to Richardson (Texas) Police. Joseph faces charges<\/a> of Driving While Intoxicated, a misdemeanor, and Collision Involving Personal Injury or Death, a second-degree felony.\u00a0<\/p>\n Plano Police say they received a call from Joseph at 5:39 a.m. local time Saturday morning admitting he was involved in the accident. Richardson Police then contacted Joseph and determined his BMW struck a motorcycle, resulting in the death of a 27-year-old woman. Police also said they “observed signs of intoxication” from Joseph.\u00a0An investigation is underway.\u00a0<\/p>\n In 2022, Joseph was cleared of any wrongdoing<\/a> after being in the car with a suspected gunman in Dallas prior to a deadly shooting.<\/p>\n “We obviously don’t need our players to be involved in situations that make this come up about your character,” Dallas owner\u00a0Jerry Jones said at the time<\/a>. “He needs to be a good player on and off the field and we’re going to give him a chance to do that. [Our message to him is] Now get in here and be a good player, be a guy everybody depends on, and make your name in a positive way and clean it up.”<\/p>\n A former second-round pick of the Cowboys<\/a>\u00a0in 2021, Joseph spent two seasons in Dallas before he was traded to the Miami Dolphins<\/a>. He later played for the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, among other teams.\u00a0<\/p>\n The No. 44 overall pick, Joseph played in 10 games as a rookie with 16 tackles and one fumble recovery. His numbers were similar as a second-year pro for the NFC East franchise and he played in all 16 games before Dallas moved on.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Joseph attempted a career reboot of sorts after signing with the DC Defenders of the UFL.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Getty Images Former Dallas Cowboys defensive back Kelvin Joseph has been arrested in connection to a fatal crash…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":112578,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[257,7,110,28199,251,6],"class_list":{"0":"post-112577","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-dallas-cowboys","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-kansas-city-chiefs","11":"tag-kelvin-joseph","12":"tag-miami-dolphins","13":"tag-nfl"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/114645215717195442","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112577","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112577"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112577\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112578"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112577"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112577"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112577"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
