Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes, is facing up to 10 years in prison after he was recently arrested for violating the terms of his probation.
Per TMZ, Mahomes Sr., 55, could also miss the Super Bowl weekend, as he’s being held without bond until his next court hearing in March. Prosecutors are additionally pushing for the former MLB star to be sentenced to 10 years in prison.
Mahomes Sr., who was arrested on Tuesday and booked into Smith County Jail, was sentenced to five years of probation after he entered a guilty plea to his DWI case in 2024. Authorities, however, allege that he drank alcohol, thus violating the terms of his probation. His probation violation report claims that on January 1, the reading on Mahomes Sr.’s SCRAM alcohol ankle monitor was high.
