Patrick Mahomes Sr. arrested for DWI 3rd or more week before son plays in Super Bowl LVIII

Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was arrested in Tyler, Texas, Saturday night for driving while intoxicated third or more, according to KVUE Kansas City.

Mahomes Sr.’s bond was set Sunday morning. He was previously arrested in 2019 for DWI second or more and sentenced to 40 days in jail. Mahomes Sr. served weekends to fulfill his sentence.

His latest arrest comes one week before Mahomes and the Chiefs go head-to-head with the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. Mahomes Sr. has been a constant this season at Chiefs games, often seen a suite. It’s currently unknown if he’ll be in attendance for Super Bowl LVII after his arrest.

In addition to being known as the father of the two-time Super Bowl champion, Mahomes Sr. gained fame on his own during his playing days in MLB. Mahomes Sr. had an 11-year career with six teams. He went 42-39 with a 5.47 ERA, 452 strikeouts and 392 walks in 709.0 innings pitched.

Patrick Mahomes preparing for Super Bowl rematch vs. 49ers

Mahomes is going for Super Bowl No. 3 in just his sixth season starting in the NFL. Though he’s grown accustomed to the feeling of playing for the Lombardi Trophy, Mahomes said this week he isn’t taking anything for granted.

“You don’t take it for granted,” Mahomes said. “You never know how many you’re going to get to, or if you’re going to get to any. It truly is special just to do it with these guys after what we’ve been through all season long. Guys coming together, it really is special. But I told them the job’s not done. Our job now is to prepare ourselves to play a good football team in the Super Bowl. And try to get that ring.”

Standing in Mahomes and the Chiefs’ way is the 49ers, looking for their first Super Bowl championship since 1994. With all the firepower San Francisco brings to the table, Mahomes said that Kansas City is “locked in” when it comes to their preparation.

“We’re pretty locked in this — I mean both weeks, but you’re really locked in this week,” Mahomes said. “You want to make sure you get the whole game plan in. Get all your questions asked and answered so next week when you’re reviewing you can just go into the fine details that you might not have the chance to do in the regular game week. I’ll have that mindset all through practice. I’ll make sure the guys have the same mindset.”
