A former NFL star has been charged with driving under the influence after he was involved in a fatal motorcycle crash on Saturday morning, June 7, according to police in Texas.
Kelvin Joseph Jr., a 25-year-old cornerback in the United Football League (UFL), was arrested just after 5:30 a.m. local time following a crash on the state's US-75 expressway.
Police said in a statement shared on social media that they were investigating a fatal crash that killed a motorcyclist at around 4:50 a.m. on the 2400 block of the expressway when Richardson called the Plano Police Department and told them he had been involved.
According to the police department, a 27-year-old female motorcycle driver, identified as Cody Morris of Plano, Texas, was killed in the accident.
No other cars or people were found at the scene of the crash, police added.
Joseph was booked into the Richardson Police Department Jail at about 7:45 a.m., according to Dallas Morning News. He has been charged with driving while intoxicated, a misdemeanor, as well as collision involving death, a felony. His bond has not yet been set, per jail records.
Joseph currently plays for the D.C. Defenders. The cornerback was drafted during the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys and played with the team until 2023.
Over the course of his NFL career, he also played for the Miami Dolphins, Seattle Seahawks, and Indianapolis Colts. He was also on the practice squad for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings.
In March 2022, Joseph was involved in an incident in the Dallas area in which he was identified as one of two passengers in a vehicle from which gunshots were fired that killed a 20-year-old man, according to ESPN.
Police found that Joseph was not the shooter in that case, according to ESPN.
The NFL did not suspend Joseph for his involvement in the incident. He appeared in 26 games for the Cowboys until his Dallas stint ended ahead of the 2023 season. The Cowboys traded Joseph to the Dolphins in August 2023.
The D.C. Defenders are scheduled to play the St. Louis Battlehawks in the UFL's conference championship game on Sunday, June 8.
