The father of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes was arrested on Saturday for driving while intoxicated (DWI) for at least the third time by police in Tyler, Texas.
Patrick Mahomes Sr., a former Mets pitcher, has been arrested multiple times for DWI offenses since 2012, according to Smith County court records. He’s been booked on a number of DWI charges across multiple Texas counties, but Saturday’s is the first one of third-offense severity. The records do not say whether he has been released yet but list his bond at $10,000. In the past, Mahomes Sr. has been released in less than a day after paying bond.
Mahomes Sr. is a regular at his son’s games and isn’t shy about his love for his kid. When the quarterback’s self-described “dad bod” started circulating around media outlets after a topless photo of him went up on the official NFL Instagram, Mahomes Sr. quickly jumped to his defense.
