Former Chiefs and K-State receiver Byron Pringle arrested for reckless driving: report

Chicago Bears wide receiver Byron Pringle was arrested Saturday in Florida for reckless driving, according to TMZ Sports.

Pringle, the former Chiefs and K-State receiver, was seen around 6 p.m. in Pasco County, Florida by a highway patrol officer who said he “witnessed the car burning rubber, doing donuts on a public road,” TMZ wrote.

That story says one of Pringle’s sons was in the backseat of the car at the time, along with an adult passenger in the front. Pringle reportedly was driving with a suspended license.

Pringle, 28, was taken to the Pasco County jail, where he was arrested for reckless driving and driving on a suspended license.

TMZ said Pringle was driving an orange 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.

Pringle, who had 42 receptions for 568 yards and five touchdowns for the Chiefs last season, signed a one-year deal worth $4 million with the Bears in March. With incentives, he could make $6 million in the upcoming season.
