Patrick Mahomes’ Dad Might Land in Prison for 10 Years After Damning Arrest Details Are Revealed

Patrick Mahomes Sr. could face a prison sentence of 10 years if he is convicted on a charge of driving while intoxicated, which would be his third.

The 54-year-old father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was arrested Saturday on a DWI charge, according to an arrest affidavit from the Smith County Sheriff’s Office in Texas obtained by the New York Post.

The affidavit said an open 16-ounce Coors beer was in the center console of the vehicle when it was stopped shortly before 8 p.m.

The elder Mahomes told police he “had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar” when asked why he had alcohol while driving, the affidavit said.

If convicted, Mahomes could be covered by a Texas law that set the penalty for a third DWI at a prison term of up to 10 years and a $10,000 fine. He has 2008 and 2019 DWIs on his record.

The affidavit said Mahomes failed multiple field sobriety tests.

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

According to the affidavit, police stopped the car after first noticing it was driving slower than surrounding traffic and then that its registration had expired.

Do you think Patrick Mahomes’ dad will go to prison?

Patrick Mahomes Sr. is out of jail on bond. The terms of his bond will allow him to travel to Las Vegas to see his son play in Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium, according to the Post. The Chiefs will play the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday.

Mahomes said last week he planned to attend the game to watch his son.

“To compete at the highest level is something that is rare and very special. For him to have the amount of success that he’s had this early on in his career is just surreal,” he told CNN.

The elder Mahomes is a former MLB pitcher, having played for the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates.

On Monday night, during a pre-Super Bowl media event,  Patrick Mahomes said his father was “doing good,” according to The Associated Press.

“It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,” he said at Super Bowl opening night. “That’s all I have to say.”

The quarterback has coped with family issues before.

Although three felony counts of aggravated sexual battery against his brother, Jackson Mahomes, have been dismissed, a charge of misdemeanor battery remains.

He has been accused of kissing a woman against her will after grabbing her by the neck. He pleaded not guilty to the charge.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

“We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. 

 

Former Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn recently made that comment to Floyd Brown, founder of The Western Journal. 

 

And if the leftists and the elites get their way, that’s exactly what will happen — no real election, no real choice for the Electoral College, and no real say for the American people. 

 

The Western Journal is fighting to keep that from happening, but we can’t do it alone.

 

We work tirelessly to expose the lying leftist media and the corrupt America-hating elites.

 

But Big Tech’s stranglehold is now so tight that without help from you, we will not be able to continue the fight. 

 

The 2024 election is literally the most important election for every living American. We have to unite and fight for our country, otherwise we will lose it. And if we lose the America we love in 2024, we’ll lose it for good. Can we count on you to help? 

 

With you we will be able to field journalists, do more investigative work, expose more corruption, and get desperately needed truth to millions of Americans. 

 

We can do this only with your help. Please don’t wait one minute. Donate right now.
