Patrick Mahomes speaks out about little brother Jackson's arrest

Jackson Mahomes, the little brother of Patrick Mahomes, was recently arrested for Aggravated Sexual Battery over an incident at a restaurant in Kansas City. You can read more about the whole ordeal further down, but as for how it will affect Patrick, the Chiefs star says it’s something he’s keeping private.

At his first public speaking appearance since the arrest, Mahomes commented that he’s reporting for duty and ready to focus on this summer’s football activities and leave the domestic issues outside of the team facility.

“At the end of the day, I come here to play football and try to take care of my family, at the same time,” said Mahomes. “So, just kind of keep it to myself and just go out there and play football when I’m in the building.”

He continued, noting that he has a job to do and that’s what he’ll be focused on when he’s at work. “It’s your family,” he added, “but you have to come in here and do a job. And that’s what I try to do every day.”

Details on Mahomes arrest

On Feb. 25 of this year, Jackson allegedly grabbed a woman by the throat and forcibly kissed her three times. He then reportedly attempted to bribe the woman by saying he could help her business (presumably because of his large social media following), per The New York Post. The alleged incident happened at Aspens Restaurant and Lounge, a restaurant located in Kansas City — and the victim was Aspen Vaughn, the restaurant owner.

Per the report, Jackson told Vaughn he needed to speak with her privately. When they went to her office, he closed the door. That’s when the alleged assault occurred.

“He then grabbed her by the throat, forcing her head back and kissed her and put his tongue in her mouth,” an affidavit states, released at the order of Johnson County District Judge Thomas Sunderland.

Vaughn also provided video surveillance of the alleged incident.

Jackson also allegedly shoved a 19-year-old waiter at the restaurant multiple times. The younger Mahomes was arrested earlier this month and charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery, and an additional count of misdemeanor battery.

He made $100,000 bond shortly after an appearance in court.
