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.
