UPDATE: Patrick Mahomes Sr. facing up to 10-year prison sentence after DWI arrest

Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, is facing serious legal trouble after being charged with a felony DWI in Texas.

This charge comes after Mahomes Sr.’s third DWI arrest earlier this year, just a week before the Super Bowl.

According to Texas law, a third felony DWI conviction could lead to a prison sentence ranging from two to 10 years. Despite his involvement in celebrating his son’s Super Bowl victory, Mahomes Sr. has yet to publicly address his latest legal issues.

“A conviction for a third DWI will result in a prison sentence of no less than 2 years and no more than 10 years,” according to ProBible.

“Even if probation is granted, all Defendants convicted of DWI 3rd or more in Texas are required to serve a minimum of ten days in jail as part of any plea agreement.”

Troubles with authorities

Authorities allege Mahomes Sr. showed signs of impairment during a routine traffic stop, admitting to consuming alcohol prior to driving.

He was reportedly found with an open can of beer in his vehicle’s center console.

“I don’t really want to get into it too much, but he’s doing good for whatever the situation is,” Mahomes said at the time.

“It’s a family matter. I’ll just keep it to the family, and that’s all I really have to say at this point.”

Patrick Mahomes Sr. has a history of legal issues, including multiple DWI charges and a public intoxication charge during a 2016 game.

He played professional baseball for 11 seasons in the MLB for various teams and has three children: Patrick and Jackson with ex-wife Randi Martin, and Zoe from a relationship following his divorce.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. has been officially hit with a criminal charge for allegedly driving drunk earlier this year … Texas prosecutors just indicted him for felony DWI.

According to court records, Mahomes Sr. was slapped with the count — driving while intoxicated third or more — on Thursday.

If convicted, he’ll face up to 10 years behind bars … as well as a fine of up to $10,000.

The 53-year-old — the father of Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes — was first arrested in the case in Smith County, Texas back on Feb. 3 … just days before the younger Mahomes was slated to play in Super Bowl LVIII.

At the time, authorities alleged that during a routine traffic stop, Mahomes Sr. showed signs of being impaired. They added that he admitted to having a few beers at a bar prior to getting behind the wheel. They also said he had an open, 16-ounce Coors beverage in his center console.

Smith County Jail

After getting out of jail, Mahomes Sr. — who’s been previously accused of DWI twice before — kept a relatively low profile … even when he traveled to Las Vegas to watch his son win the NFL’s championship over the San Francisco 49ers.

While he had suite seats for the game, he was not seen on the broadcast … and he was rarely photographed.

Mahomes II spoke briefly about his dad’s criminal case in the leadup to the Big Game … calling it “a family matter” that he wanted to keep private.

Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of NFL star Patrick Mahomes, finds himself in serious legal trouble after being charged with a felony DWI in Texas.

This isn’t his first brush with the law, as it marks his third DWI arrest this year, with the latest incident occurring just a week before the Super Bowl.

In Texas, a third felony DWI conviction carries severe consequences, including a potential prison sentence ranging from two to 10 years.

Even if probation is granted, state law mandates that all defendants convicted of DWI three or more times must serve a minimum of ten days in jail as part of any plea agreement.

Despite his involvement in celebrating his son’s Super Bowl victory, Mahomes Sr. has remained silent about his legal troubles.

The gravity of the situation underscores the serious repercussions of repeated offenses and serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible decision-making, especially concerning matters of public safety.
