Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of his namesake, the quarterback of the champion Kansas City Chiefs who will play in Super Bowl LVIII next Sunday, was arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Smith County in Tyler, Texas.
It is the third arrest of this type suffered by the former pitcher for several Major League Baseball (MLB) teams, including the New York Mets and the Boston Red Sox, at the end of the last century.
His previous arrests occurred in 2016 and 2018, the latter of which he pleaded guilty and served 40 days in a county jail.
Under Texas state law, a person convicted of a third offense of driving under the influence could face a fine of up to $10,000 and have their driver’s license suspended for up to two years.
Patrick Mahomes Sr. is 53 years old and played 11 seasons in the MLB with the Minnesota Twins between 1992 and 1996, with the Boston Red Sox from 1996 to 1997, two more seasons with the New York Mets in 1999 and 2000; His last three seasons were spent with the Texans Rangers, 2001; Chicago Cubs, 2002; and Pittsburgh Pirates in 2003.
He also played in the Japanese Central League with the Yokohama BayStars.
The father of the two-time champion and two-time Super Bowl MVP has attended several Chiefs games to support his son this season.
Until last week, he planned to be present on February 11 at Super Bowl LVIII in which Kansas City will face the San Francisco 49ers at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
While he resolves the situation, his son will travel later this Sunday with the Kansas City Chiefs to Las Vegas, Nevada, to prepare for his participation in his fourth NFL title game in his career.
In addition to his father, Mahomes’ brother Jackson has also been in trouble with the law.
Last May he was arrested for aggravated sexual harassment; He was released after posting $100,000 bail. In January of this year, Kansas state prosecutors dismissed the charges against Jackson, who has been seen in the Chiefs box at several games this season in support of his brother.
