domestic battery
OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (AP) --- Kansas City Chiefs assistant coach Dave Merritt
was charged Thursday with misdemeanor domestic battery after a complaint filed
by the district attorney in Johnson County, Kansas, accused him of causing
bodily harm to a daughter.
The Chiefs said they were aware of the arrest but had no comment. Merritt was
due in court later Thursday.
The 54-year-old Merritt spent several years playing linebacker in the NFL
before becoming one of the best defensive backs coaches in the league. He has
been with the Chiefs since 2019, and including his time with the Giants, has
helped teams win five Super Bowls.
