Patrick Mahomes Sr. was arrested for the third time in the state of Texas for DWI in 2024. The timing of his arrest for driving with his blood alcohol level almost three times the legal limit in Texas came just a few days before his son was going to be playing in the Super Bowl. It was reportedly at least the sixth time overall that he had been arrested for driving while intoxicated and he was facing between two and 10 years in prison.
His son would go on to win that year’s Super Bowl – a game Patrick Mahomes Sr. received permission from a judge to attend, despite his very recent arrest. He would go on to be ticketed for driving on an invalid license five months after he was arrested. He would also get permission to travel to the Super Bowl in 2025 as well despite having recently pleaded guilty to the DWI. Patrick Sr. would then fail to show up for a court-ordered drug test two days after the Super Bowl. But it’s all good now, according to him, his son, and his daughter-in-law.
This week, in a clip from an upcoming episode of ESPN’s The Kingdom, the junior Patrick Mahomes addressed his dad’s DWI arrest. Sort of.
“It was during that Super Bowl. It became a story, and so, I had to answer questions about it,” Mahomes said about his dad’s most recent DWI arrest. “I think just knowing that it hurt me woke him up to know that like, you can’t keep doing the same things.”
Patrick’s wife Brittany Mahomes said in the same episode, “I think it finally hit him that, you know, ‘I have my kids watching me, I have my grandkids now that are watching me.”
Patrick Mahomes Sr. echoed what his daughter-in law said. “It kind of hit home before the Super Bowl last year, when I got in trouble,” he explained. “For him to have to answer questions about me, you know, was probably the most embarrassing thing that I’ve ever been through in my life.”
He also claimed that he “made a vow that he would never have to deal with anything because of drinking because of me. I haven’t had a drink since then.”
As it turned out, Patrick Mahomes Sr. didn’t get 10 years in prison. Or two years. He got 10 days. That’s it.
“It was just something that I’ve always done, just something that’s in the game,” Patrick Sr. said about his drinking in the episode of The Kingdom. “I went out, partied a little bit, wasn’t always where I was supposed to be.”
