Patrick Mahomes Sr. Sentenced To Five Years Probation After DWI Guilty Plea

Earlier this year, just days before the Kansas City Chiefs played in the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was arrested and charged with a DWI 3rd by the Tyler Police Department in Texas.

This isn't Mr. Mahomes' first run-in with the law. Texas criminal records show multiple arrests over the past 15 years, and his mugshots are on file.

Shortly after his arrest earlier this year, a spokesperson for the Tyler Police Department revealed that officers initially stopped Mahomes Sr. around 8:30 PM for a routine traffic violation. However, "evidence obtained during the stop led to the arrest."

Reports indicate that Mahomes Sr. was found with a 16-ounce Coors beer in the center console and informed the police that he “had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar.

The arresting officer noted that “based on the totality of the circumstances, I believed Patrick [Mahomes Sr.] was impaired to a perceptible degree while operating a motor vehicle in a public place.”

Months later, Patrick Mahomes Sr pled guilty to a felony charge of driving while intoxicated.

The charge, a third-degree DWI or more, 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."

"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," it further states.

According to court documents obtained by TMZ, the 54-year-old former MLB pitcher entered his plea on Tuesday morning, shortly before his trial was scheduled to start in Smith County, Texas.

The charge was officially categorized as a third or subsequent DWI. He agreed to a five-year probation sentence, per Us Weekly, with “intense” supervision for the first year.

The Mahomes family has faced legal challenges recently, as Patrick’s younger brother, Jackson Mahomes, has been accused of non-consensual misconduct by a woman named Aspen Vaughn.

Jackson, a 23-year-old social media influencer, was reportedly at Vaughn’s Aspens Restaurant and Lounge in Kansas City when he allegedly pushed a waiter who was trying to enter the room he was in. He has since pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of battery and was sentenced to 120 days in jail along with six months of probation. However, it is expected that he will likely avoid serving jail time.

"The sentencing came more than two months after prosecutors dismissed three felony charges for aggravated sexual battery," ESPN reported. "Related to accusations that Jackson Mahomes grabbed a woman by the neck and kissed her against her will inside an Overland Park, Kansas, restaurant in February 2023."

"Those more serious charges were dropped due to a lack of cooperation from the woman, according to a court filing," ESPN's report continued. "The remaining misdemeanor battery charge said Jackson Mahomes shoved a waiter who tried to come into a room where he was with the woman, according to investigators."

"Prosecutors dropped the felony charges after the woman, who was the owner of the restaurant, refused to testify in the case," their report added. "The woman reported that she endured death threats and harassment and that her restaurant was vandalized in the wake of the charges. She closed the restaurant in August."

This isn't Mahomes Sr.'s first run-in with the law. According to jail records, he was arrested in 2018 for a second driving while intoxicated offense. He served a 40-day sentence on weekends, spanning from February 2019 to February 2020.

He has several mugshots on record from multiple arrests over the past 15 years.

A formal sentencing for Pat Sr. is scheduled for September 23.
