Patrick Mahomes Sr. arrested for violating probation

Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and three-time Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes, was arrested on Tuesday for violating his probation for his DWI sentence. Per TMZ Sports, the elder Mahomes violated his probation after allegedly drinking alcohol.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. was booked in Smith County Jail on Tuesday. The District Attorney confirmed to TMZ Sports that the former MLB player was arrested for a probation violation.

Mahomes has had his share of legal issues over the years. The 55-year-old has been arrested for DUI at least three times — the most recent coming days before the Chiefs defeated the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl in 2024. He pleaded guilty to DWI a few months later and was sentenced to five years of probation.

Patrick Mahomes comments on father’s legal issues

The younger Mahomes spoke about his father’s 2024 arrest in the ESPN docuseries The Kingdom. “It was during that Super Bowl week. It became a story, and so I had to answer questions about it,” Patrick Mahomes said, per the New York Post. “I think just knowing that it hurt me, woke him up to know that, like you can’t keep doing the same things.”

Pat Sr. then shared how he felt about his son answering questions about his arrest. “It kind of hit home before the Super Bowl last year, when I got in trouble. For him to have to answer questions about me, you know, was probably the most embarrassing thing that I’ve ever been through in my life,” he revealed.

“I called him right after … I said, ‘I’m sorry, I’m sorry that it’s taken away from your time and focus.’ … I made a vow that he would never have to deal with anything because of drinking because of me. I haven’t had a drink since then.”

Patrick Mahomes Sr. was an MLB pitcher from 1992 to 2003. He spent the majority of his career with the Minnesota Twins (1992-1996) and posted a career record of 42-39. His best season was in 1999, when he posted a 3.68 ERA and an 8-0 record in 39 appearances with the New York Mets.
