Pat Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was arrested for driving while intoxicated on Saturday (February 3) night, TMZ Sports reports, citing Texas online booking records.
Mahomes, 53, was previously arrested for DWI twice, which included serving 40 days in jail for his second offense in 2019, fulfilling his requirement on weekends, according to TMZ Sports. The former Major League Baseball pitcher is reportedly expected to have his bond set later in the day on Sunday.
The elder Mahomes' latest arrest came eight days before his son's scheduled fourth Super Bowl appearance in five years when the Chiefs face the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas next Sunday (February 11). The two-time NFL regular season and Super Bowl MVP threw for 241 yards and one touchdown on 30 of 39 passing during Kansas City's AFC Championship Game win against the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday (January 28).
“You don’t take it for granted,” the quarterback told reporters after Sunday's game via the New York Post. “You never know many you are going to get to, or if you are going to get to any. It really is special, but the job’s not done. Our job now is to … try to get that ring.”
Mahomes would tie Troy Aikman and Earl Morrall for the third-most Super Bowl wins by a quarterback and would trail only Tom Brady (7), Joe Montana (4) and Terry Bradshaw (4) with a victory in Super Bowl LVIII.
