Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of quarterback Patrick Mahomes, tried name-dropping the Kansas City Chiefs star during his latest DWI arrest, even suggesting their actions could cause his son to lose the Super Bowl.
A video of his arrest was posted by the TMZ. The outlet states that Mahomes Sr. was initially cooperative, admitting to having “a few beers while watching a game at a local bar,” and even handing over an open can of beer in his vehicle.
But things would later go south a touch.
“Are y’all serious?” he asks later adding, “I’m supposed to be going to the Super Bowl to watch my son play football, and this is what we’re doing?”
Mahomes’ third arrest for DWI came in February, just days before the Super Bowl.
The ‘do you know who I am’ shtick is not surprising. What comes next, however, is certainly a new one.
Patrick Mahomes Father With The Guilt Trip During DWI Arrest
After being detained and placed in the back of a squad car during his DWI arrest, Patrick Mahomes Sr. repeatedly suggests he should be released on his own recognizance.
Or rather, ‘Don’t y’all recognize who I am?’ He then throws in a little guilt trip for good measure.
“Dude. This is crazy. My son is getting ready to play in the […] Super Bowl and I’m doing interviews — five or six a day,” he pleads. “And then, now, this […] going to be on the news which is going to […] with him, and it’s probably going to […] him up.”
“And he probably won’t win the Super Bowl. But that’s fine. If that’s what y’all want to do, that’s good.”
The fact that he told cops in Texas this is borderline hilarious. Granted, Mahomes the quarterback grew up in Texas and played college ball at Texas Tech, but I’m pretty certain cops just outside of Dallas could give a rip if the Chiefs win the Super Bowl.
The Chiefs, of course, wound up winning the game.

Ended Up Getting A Pretty Good Deal
Patrick Mahomes Sr. would ultimately accept a plea deal for his arrest back in February which included agreeing to a five-year probation sentence with “intense” supervision for the first year.
Under Texas law, a third or subsequent DWI offense – which this arrest represented – is a third-degree felony, carrying a potential sentence of 2 to 10 years in prison.
And while a decade in prison had loomed large, Mahomes Sr. escaped with a favorable deal and probation. However, he did have to spend some time locked up.
Under Texas law, Mahomes Sr. was to serve 10 mandatory days in the county jail, according to Talk 103.9.
He doesn’t seem to have learned much from the ordeal, celebrating his “intense” supervision deal as an opportunity to attend his son’s games in the future.
“It’s kind of a tradition; I normally go to all the football games. I know he enjoys me being there, so hopefully things will work out and I’ll be able to continue what I’ve been doing,” Mahomes said.
When asked about that possibility, the judge in the case said it would ultimately be up to the probation officer. We already know what the pitch will be – ‘Let me go to the games unless you want the Chiefs to lose.’
