Open Beer Can Found In Car Console Of Patrick Mahomes's Dad Prior To Arrest

Patrick Mahomes's dad, Patrick Mahomes Sr., was reportedly driving with an open can of beer before his DWI arrest over the weekend.

As previously reported, the NFL quarterback’s dad was charged with a DWI by the Tyler Police Department in Texas on Saturday, February 3. Unfortunately for Mahomes Sr., this specific charge specifies, “After two DWI convictions, a third DWI offense (habitual DWI) is a Third Degree Felony. The maximum fine is $10,000.00, and the maximum prison sentence is 10 years in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) penitentiary.”

This is not the first time Mr. Mahomes has been busted, as according to Texas criminal records, he's been arrested on multiple occasions over the past 15 years, with a handful of mugshots in the system.

According to the arrest report, Patrick Mahomes Sr. was driving with an open 16-ounce Coors beer in the center console just before 8 p.m. Saturday when he was stopped by police.

He also told police that he “had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar," per the affidavit, obtained by The Post.

Per The Blast's previous report, “A conviction for a third DWI will result in a minimum prison sentence of two years and a maximum of ten years in prison (not a county jail). Even if you are granted probation, you will have to serve at least ten days in jail as part of a plea agreement. This usually cannot be waived.”

The arrest occurred just 8 days before the Super Bowl - a game in which his son, Patrick, will be playing in.

Mahomes Sr. agreed to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests, where he showed signs of intoxication during the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus eye test, the Walk and Turn test, and the One Leg Stand, according to police.

“Based on the totality of the circumstances,” the arresting officer wrote in the report, citing probable cause, “I believed Patrick was impaired to a perceptible degree while operating a motor vehicle in a public place.”

This is not the first time the Mahomes family has been involved in legal drama, as Patrick’s younger brother, Jackson Mahomes, was accused of non-consensual misconduct by a woman named Aspen Vaughn.

The 23-year-old, who is considered a social media influencer, was visiting the accuser's Aspens Restaurant and Lounge business in Kansas City when Jackson allegedly pushed a waiter who attempted to access the room he was in.

Jackson Mahomes also sparked controversy in September 2021 after he was caught pouring water on a Baltimore Ravens fan following the Chiefs loss.

Mahomes Sr. was arrested for his second driving while intoxicated charge in 2018, according to jail records. His 40-day sentence was served on weekends from February 2019 to February 2020.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. was busted for a DUI just days before his son, Patrick Mahomes, and the Kansas City Chiefs take on the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVII. The big game takes place in Las Vegas on February 11.
