The quarterback's father was arrested for his third DWI arrest just eight days before his son and the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers in the 2024 Super Bowl. Police said at the time that Mahomes Sr.'s blood alcohol content was 0.23 when an officer pulled him over in Tyler, Texas. In February 2026, he was arrested again and booked into the Smith County Jail in Texas for allegedly consuming alcohol, Smith County District Attorney Jacob Putman told KLTV at the time. Mahomes Sr.'s ankle monitor allegedly recorded a high reading of alcohol consumption on Jan. 1. He took urine tests on Jan. 5 and Jan. 9, which both came back negative, TMZ reported, citing court documents. Patrick and his father opened up about the arrest during an August 2025 episode of ESPN's original series Chiefs Kingdom. "It was during that Super Bowl. It became a story, and so, I had to answer questions about it. I think just knowing that it hurt me woke him up to know that like, you can't keep doing the same things," the younger Mahomes said. Mahomes Sr. said on the episode, "For him to have to answer questions about me was probably the most embarrassing thing I've ever been through in my life. I called him right after and I told him, I said, 'I'm sorry that it's taking away from your time and taking away from your focus.' " Before his 2009 retirement, the former MLB player was a pitcher from 1992 to 2003. He played for the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates and earned himself a spot in the Sioux Falls Canaries Hall of Fame.
