NFL's Patrick Mahomes Breaks Silence On His Dad's DUI Arrest

Kansas City Chiefsquarterback Patrick Mahomesis speaking out following his father's DUI arrest over the weekend.

As all eyes are on Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs as they prep to take on the San Francisco 49ers, more attention surrounded the quarterback after his dad, Patrick Mahomes Sr., was arrested and charged with a DWI 3rd or more by the Tyler Police Department in Texas.

The Blast previously reported that despite the arrest, Mahomes Sr. could still attend the Super Bowl in Las Vegas if he wishes to do so. Although his attendance remains unclear, the NFL quarterback is letting the public and the press know that his father is "doing good."

At the Super Bowl's opening night, Patrick Mahomes told the press that his father is "doing good," but didn't have much else to say.

"I don't really want to get into it too much, but he's doing good for whatever the situation is," he said, adding, "It's a family matter. I'll just keep it to the family, and that's all I really have to say at this point."

Patrick Mahomes's dad was pulled over by police on Saturday, February 3, where he failed a sobriety test and was then arrested and charged with a DWI 3rd or more by the Tyler Police Department in Texas.

According to the arrest report, Patrick Mahomes Sr. was driving with an open 16-ounce Coors beer in the center console. He also told police that he “had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar."

Records show Mahomes Sr. was released the day after his arrest on a $10,000 bond.

Mahomes Sr. has a pretty long history of run-ins with the police as records show he's been arrested multiple times, and he has a handful of mugshots in the system from over the past 15 years.

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.”

Adding, “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.”

Records show he was arrested for his first driving while intoxicated charge in 2018 and his second in 2019.

Following his most recent arrest, Judge James Meredith — who handled the case in Smith County, Texas on Sunday following Mahomes Sr.’s DWI arrest — tells us he didn’t impose any travel ban on the elder Mahomes as part of his bond conditions. This means that he will be allowed to watch his son play in Las Vegas in Super Bowl LVIII.

The Kansas City Chiefs will take on the San Francisco 49ers on February 11.
