Chad Kelly arrested in Colorado

The nephew of Bills hall of fame quarterback Jim Kelly is in trouble with the law in Colorado.

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."
