Patrick Mahomes’ Father Arrested Again for Violating Probation
TYLER, Texas — In a development that’s sparked widespread attention, Patrick “Pat” Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, was arrested on Tuesday after allegedly violating the terms of his probation from a prior DWI conviction. Authorities say the 55-year-old was taken into custody during a scheduled meeting with his probation officer after a warrant was issued for the violation.

Mahomes Sr. was booked into the Smith County Jail in Tyler, Texas, where he remained as of Wednesday while awaiting further proceedings. Records show the violation stemmed from a high alcohol reading on his ankle monitor on January 1, which is prohibited under the terms of the probation imposed after he pleaded guilty to a DWI charge in August 2024.

This is not the first time Mahomes Sr. has faced legal trouble related to alcohol. Smith County jail records indicate multiple previous DWI arrests over the years, and his 2024 conviction followed a similar arrest just days before the Chiefs’ second consecutive Super Bowl victory.
