Patrick Mahomes' father arrested after authorities say he violated DWI probation
TYLER, Texas (AP) --- The father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick
Mahomes has been arrested in Texas after authorities said he violated his
probation from a conviction for driving while intoxicated.
Patrick "Pat" Mahomes Sr., 55, was arrested Tuesday during a meeting with his
probation officer after a warrant was obtained for a probation violation,
authorities said. He remained in Smith County jail in Tyler on Wednesday. His
attorney did not immediately return a call from The Associated Press.
The elder Mahomes was sentenced to five years probation after pleading guilty
in August 2024 to a DWI charge. On Jan. 1, he had a high alcohol reading on his
ankle monitor, according to a probation violation report.
Mahomes Sr. had been arrested on the DWI charge in February 2024, a little more
than a week before his son led the Chiefs to a second straight Super Bowl
championship with a win over San Francisco.
Smith County jail records show multiple DWI arrests over the years for the
elder Mahomes.
Mahomes Sr. is a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for six teams
during an 11-year major league career that ended in 2003, according to Baseball
Reference.
