In unfortunate news, Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, has recently been arrested. The 53-year-old former MLB pitcher was booked in the Smith County Jail in Tyler, Texas, on charges of driving while intoxicated (DWI) for the third time or more. His bond has been set at $10,000.
This is not the first time Mahomes Sr. has faced DWI charges. In 2018, he was previously charged with a DWI offense and served 40 days in a county jail after pleading guilty. Additionally, he faced charges related to a one-car accident in 1994. In 2016, he was also arrested and charged with public intoxication during a game between Texas Christian University (TCU) and Texas Tech, which happens to be his son's alma mater.
It is unfortunate timing that this arrest has come just ahead of his son's Super Bowl LVIII game against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite this setback, Patrick Mahomes Jr. has undoubtedly been focused on his upcoming game and will likely remain determined to give his best performance on the field.
Before transitioning to his podcasting endeavors, Mahomes Sr. enjoyed a successful career as an MLB pitcher from 1992 to 2003. He played for several teams, including the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, and the Pittsburgh Pirates. His achievements were recognized when he earned a spot in the Sioux Falls Canaries Hall of Fame.
Currently, Mahomes Sr. hosts a weekly podcast called 'The Big Mahomes Show.' This podcast provides coverage of various sports-related topics and aims to provide listeners with an inside look into the world of professional sports.
As for his personal life, Mahomes Sr. shares two sons, Patrick Jr., who has followed in his father's footsteps as a star quarterback, and Jackson, with his ex-wife Randi Martin. Following their divorce, Mahomes Sr. began a new relationship and became a father to a daughter named Zoe Mahomes. Additionally, Mahomes Jr. and his wife Brittany Mahomes have blessed Mahomes Sr. and Martin with two grandchildren, a daughter named Sterling Skye Mahomes and a son named Patrick 'Bronze' Lavon Mahomes III.
It is certainly disappointing and concerning to see someone with a history of multiple DWI charges continue to be involved in such incidents. Hopefully, this arrest and its consequences serve as a wake-up call for Mahomes Sr., prompting him to seek help and address the underlying issues causing these repeated offenses. Above all, we can only hope for a positive and safe future for all involved parties.
