Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of NFL quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, has been jailed for violating his probation after allegedly delivering a high alcohol reading on his ankle monitor. The 55-year-old was booked into the Smith County Jail in Texas at 11:24 a.m. local time.
Mahomes Sr.'s arrest stems from an alleged DWI (driving while intoxicated) offense that occurred on January 1, when his ankle monitor delivered a high alcohol reading. However, subsequent urine test analyses conducted on January 5 and January 9 allegedly came back negative at the time. A motion has been filed to end the violation, allowing Mahomes Sr. to challenge the allegations.
This latest incident is not the first time Mahomes Sr. has been arrested for driving while intoxicated. Exactly two years ago, he was arrested for the same offense in Tyler and had a blood alcohol content of 0.23. As a result, he was sentenced to five years of probation, which could have potentially led to up to 10 years in prison if violated.
Mahomes II, the NFL star, has kept quiet about his father's recent arrest. However, earlier this year, when asked about his dad's 2024 arrest ahead of the Super Bowl, he said that "it's a family matter" and refused to elaborate further. He also spoke highly of his father in an ESPN documentary, saying that knowing how his actions hurt him had "woken him up" to change his ways.
Mahomes Sr.'s latest arrest has sparked concern among fans and observers, who are now waiting for the outcome of this case. As Mahomes II continues to shine on the NFL field, it is unclear when or if he will speak out about his father's situation once again.
