Patrick Mahomes’ father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., is back in jail after allegedly violating his probation by drinking alcohol, per multiple reports. Mahomes Sr. was booked into the Smith County Jail on Tuesday.
The father is currently serving five years of probation for driving while intoxicated in February 2024. Mahomes Sr. was arrested on Feb 3. 2024 in Tyler, Texas, after he was pulled over with a blood alcohol content (BAC) of 0.23.
He was sentenced to probation that September. If he were to fail his probation, he could face 10 years in prison.
In video police footage of the 2024 incident, obtained by TMZ, Mahomes Sr. pleaded with officers while he was in handcuffs and mentioned his son’s name multiple times.
“Can I say one thing?” Mahomes Sr. began. “My son is getting ready to play in the f—ing Super Bowl.”
Mahomes Sr. admitted he had “had some drinks” before, citing concerns over how the arrest could hurt his son and the Chiefs as they prepared for the Super Bowl. “I am not drunk, I promise you. I’ve had some drinks, but he can’t have this right now. This can’t happen.”
Mahomes Sr. went on to explain that the car he was driving at the time was a gift, and he would have the appropriate registration in the “next day or two.”

“We’ve never had a star here in this area, and now we got a chance to be a star, and now we going to have a scandal now,” he said. “We’re gonna have a scandal for no f—ing reason because my registration when he gifted me the car hasn’t gotten in yet, which would probably be in the next day or two.”
Both Patrick Mahomes Sr. and the Chiefs quarterback addressed the DWI incident in an episode of the ESPN docuseries, “The Kingdom.”
“It was during that Super Bowl. It became a story, and so, I had to answer questions about it,” Mahomes II said in the episode. “I think just knowing that it hurt me woke him up to know that like, you can’t keep doing the same things.”
