Mahomes Sr., 55, has been on probation since pleading guilty to a DWI charge in August 2024. He was arrested days before Super Bowl LVIII when a police officer reported seeing an open can of beer in his car. The elder Mahomes would later fail field sobriety tests.
A jury trial had been scheduled in 2024, but Mahomes Sr. agreed to five years of probation with one year of “intense” supervision, 160 hours of community service, a life skills course, and taking part in a DWI repeat offender program, as well as Alcohol Anonymous classes.
According to Texas state law, the third-degree felony against Mahomes Sr. carried a sentence of up to 10 years in prison if he was convicted.
Mahomes Sr. addressed his 2024 arrest during an episode of ESPN’s “Chiefs Kingdom” series in August saying, “For him to have to answer questions about me was probably the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever been through in my life.”
Patrick Mahomes said of his father’s issues, “I think just knowing that it hurt me woke him up to know that like, you can’t keep doing the same things.”
