Patrick Mahomes Sr., who is the father of star Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, is facing some serious charges.
He faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 if convicted.
Mahomes Sr. was originally arrested before the Super Bowl in Las Vegas. It happened on February 3rd in Texas after he reportedly showed signs of impairment during a routine traffic stop. TMZ stated at the time that he had admitted to drinking multiple beers before driving and had an open alcoholic beverage in the car.
His arrest came before his son would lead the Kansas City Chiefs to a Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The quarterback’s father still traveled to Las Vegas for the game but kept a low profile to not take the moment away from him.
Patrick Mahomes was asked about his father at Super Bowl Opening Night and told reporters, “Yeah, he’s doing good. I haven’t—I don’t want to really get into it too much, but he’s doing good for whatever the situation is.
“It’s a family matter so I’ll just keep it to the family and that’s all I really have to say at this point.”
Mahomes Sr. has faced two prior DWI charges as he was charged with public intoxication in 2016 during a game between TCU and Texas Tech and then charged with a DWI offense in 2018.

He would go on to earn a spot in the Sioux Falls Canaries Hall of Fame.
