The father of Patrick Mahomes has found out his punishment.

Patrick “Pat” Mahomes Sr., a former MLB star and the father of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, has been sentenced to five years’ probation for a DWI third time or more charge.

He must also spend ten days in jail, per KKAM.

His license has also been suspended for one year, and a breathalyzer ignition device will be installed in his vehicle.

If Mahomes Sr. were to fail his probation, he could face 10 years in prison.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. initially pleaded guilty last month as he was set to go to trial.

He claimed at the time that he was currently six months sober. Hopefully, he continues down that path because another violation could send him up the road for a long time.

 

Patrick Mahomes Sr. Initially Arrested Days Before Super Bowl In Las Vegas

The father of star Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was indicted on a felony charge, listed as “driving while intoxicated” for a third or more time after he was arrested in February, which came eight days before the Super Bowl.

Mahomes was arrested in Tyler, Texas, in early February on a charge of DWI, his third DWI offense.

An arrest affidavit states that during the stop, the officer spotted an open 16 oz. beer can in the console of his car, and Mahomes Sr. even admitted to having “a few beers” at a bar.

During a field sobriety test, the arresting officer said they noticed evidence of intoxication.

The former MLB pitcher with the Twins, Red Sox, Mets, Rangers, Cubs, and Pirates ultimately only received ten days in jail, but he was initially facing up to 10 years in prison.

Despite many blasting Mahomes Sr. for taking some shine away from his son as he headed to another Super Bowl, he still showed up and was seen on the field at Allegiant Stadium after his son led the Chiefs to a 25-22 overtime victory against the 49ers.

Patrick Mahomes’ father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., has pleaded guilty to a felony charge of driving while intoxicated.

The older Mahomes nearly missed his son’s Super Bowl MVP performance after getting arrested for the aforementioned offense during a traffic stop in February.

According to court records obtained by TMZ, the former MLB pitcher entered a guilty plea to DWI third or more on Tuesday morning, before he was scheduled to appear at a trial in Smith County, Texas.

The 54-year-old is believed to have agreed to a deal with prosecutors, but TMZ is unable to provide details as Smith County officials have rejected a request for comment and had not heard back from his lawyer as of this writing.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. Facing Up 10 Years In Prison

Mahomes Sr. is now awaiting sentencing, which will take place on September 23. He faces up to 10 years in prison, as well as a $10,000 fine, but should get hit with a lighter sentence following his guilty plea.

The former baseball player was charged in April after his arrest in February. He reportedly showed signs of drunkenness during the traffic stop and had an open can of Coors in his car at the time.

He told officers he had drinks prior to driving.

The arrest came shortly before the Chiefs quarterback won his third Super Bowl. Patrick Mahomes Sr. attended the game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas but didn’t make a big show of it.

The legal troubles are nothing new. Mahomes Sr. was arrested and charged with DWI second or more in 2019 and was hit with a 40-day prison sentence. He served the time on weekends.

TMZ reported he was busted for driving with an invalid license in Texas back in June.
