Fox Sports broadcaster and former KC Chief O-Line standout, Bill Maas, was arrested on Friday.
The 45-year-old Maas, and a female passenger Sarah J. Murphy, 27, were pulled over in his Hummer on routine roadside check in Peoria, Ill, on Friday.
According to the police report, Maas seemed nervous, but agreed to a search of the Hummer. During the search of the vehicle, the police found .22-caliber revolver, some marijuana, cocaine and 28 pills of Ecstasy. Bill Maas was charged with drug possession and weapons, and his passenger Sarah Murphy with drug possession only. Bill Maas and Sarah Murphy are both residents of Lee’s Summit, MO.
Bill Mass is currently working as commentator for Fox Sports. Maas was a defensive tackle for the Kansas City Chiefs and the Green Bay Packers. In 1984 Maas was named The NFL Rookie of the Year by the AP.
The community-minded Maas was the winner of the NFL’s first Extra Effort Award in 1991 after he purchased tickets for 250 men and women who served in Operation Desert Storm. He is also very active with the Dream Factory and several other charitable organizations, including the March of Dimes and the United Way.
Maas earned a degree in administrative justice from the University of Pittsburgh, where he was an All-American in both his junior and senior seasons.
Maas has not always enjoyed popularity as a sports broadcaster.
From Classic Cola for the Soul:
“Bill Maas is awful. He won’t admit when he gets something wrong, he constantly harps on the things he gets right, and then tries to correct Rosen even when Rosen is the one who is right.
