In a sobering prelude to the Super Bowl frenzy, Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, found himself in custody for a third degree felony after being arrested for driving while intoxicated — his third offense. Tyler police stated they pulled Mahomes Sr. over in the 1100 block of W. Gentry Parkway on Saturday night, with subsequent evidence collected at the scene leading to the DWI charge, as reported by KVUE.
Sitting behind bars with a bond set at a steep $10,000, Mahomes Sr. was released Sunday afternoon from Smith County lockup. A repetition of past misdeeds, the star QB's father previously served time for a related offense back in 2019, undergoing a 40-day stint in jail to be served over weekends, an arrangement detailed in judicial records obtained by CBS19.
This latest run-in with the law marks a troubling trend for Mahomes Sr., as Texas law denotes his charge as a third degree felony, potentially carrying a sentence of two to ten years behind bars.
While Patrick Mahomes Sr. navigates his legal troubles, Patrick Mahomes II focuses on the field, ready to lead the Chiefs against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII, as per CBS 19.
