Patrick Mahomes Sr. didn’t want his DWI arrest in the news.
The former MLB pitcher, who was arrested on a charge of DWI for the third time or more in February before the Super Bowl, name-dropped his superstar son, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, multiple times while being handcuffed and placed in the back of a police car, according to new footage of the arrest obtained Friday by TMZ.
“Can I say one thing?” Mahomes Sr. asked the arresting officer. “My son is getting ready to play in the f–king Super Bowl, OK? Just listen to me. I am not drunk. I promise you. I’ve had some drinks. But he can’t have this right now. Listen, this can’t happen… Patrick Mahomes.”

Mahomes Sr. was pulled over for his out-of-date registration after police ran the license plate on his white four-door Genesis in Tyler — and he was subsequently arrested following a series of field sobriety tests.
In the footage, Mahomes Sr. explained to the cop that it was the worst possible time for him to be arrested because his son was preparing for the Super Bowl on Feb. 11 — when the Chiefs beat the 49ers in an overtime thriller, 25-22.

“We’ve never had a star here in this area and now we got a chance to be a star and now we going to have a scandal now,” he said. “… We’re gonna have a scandal for no f–king reason because my registration when he gifted me the car hasn’t gotten in yet, which would probably be in in the next day or two.”
In the footage, Mahomes Sr. passed an open can of Coors Light in his center console to the cop before he got out of the car.
“Look, here’s my thing, I’m not looking to blow this into any bigger deal than it is, but unfortunately, like you said, I have a job I have to do and I can’t change that just based off of who you are,” the officer said.

“Dude, this is crazy. My son is getting ready to play in the f–king Super Bowl and I’m doing interviews, five or six a day, and then, now, this s–t’s going to be on the news which is going to f–k with him, and it’s probably going to f–k him up,” Mahomes Sr. said.
“And he probably won’t win the Super Bowl. But that’s fine. If that’s what y’all want to do, that’s good.”
Mahomes Sr. then claimed he wasn’t drunk, “But I would probably blow over the legal limit. But dude seriously, we don’t have stars from around here.”

He repeatedly told the officer he could have someone “come get me,” but they said they had a job to do — which ended with him at a local jail.
Mahomes Sr., who had a BAC of .23, was released hours after the arrest, according to TMZ.
He did make it to the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
Mahomes Sr. was charged with a felony count of DWI third or more and then received a five-year probation sentence after reaching a deal with prosecutors in August.
The probation for the former Mets pitcher, who received his second DWI charge in 2018, reportedly includes “intense” supervision for the first year.
Mahomes Sr. was required to serve 10 days in jail and continue attending AA meetings, according to KLTV.
“Our client is now living a sober life, and we believe that the steps he has taken to better his life helped us achieve a plea recommendation for probation,” Mahomes Sr.’s attorney, Joseph D. Murphy, said at the time.
Mahomes Sr. called the arrest eye-opening.
He also said he celebrated six months of sobriety in an Instagram post in August, in which he thanked his wife, Trisha, family and friends.
The former MLB pitcher remarried after his divorce from Randi Mahomes in 2006. They share sons Patrick and Jackson Mahomes.
