ENGLEWOOD, Colorado — Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly was arrested early Tuesday morning.
In a news release, Englewood police said Kelly illegally entered a home and was chased out by a resident.
Kelly, 24, is a Western New York native and the nephew of Bills hall of fame quarterback, Jim Kelly.
Just after 1 a.m., officers responded to a home in Englewood about a man standing outside a residence. While officers were responding, they received information that the man had entered the residence.
The man had been chased out of the residence by an occupant and a short time later officers located a man matching his description nearby.
Kelly was taken into custody without incident and taken to the Arapahoe County Jail on charges of first-degree criminal trespass, a felony.
The Denver Broncos said in a statement, "We are disappointed that Chad Kelly was arrested early this morning. Our organization has been in contact with Chad, and we are in the process of gathering more information."
2 On Your Side sat down with local defense attorney Barry Covert to discuss the legal implication for Chad Kelly.
