While his son prepares for the Super Bowl, Patrick Mahomes Sr has been up to something else. Mahomes Jr wasn’t exactly having his best season this year. But somehow, he and the Chiefs managed to make it to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in six years. But ahead of Sin City’s big weekend, comes a turbulent news for the Mahomes family.
Patrick’s brother, Jackson was recently cleared of three felony charges. Now, Mahomes’ dad was reportedly arrested in Texas just a week before his son’s fourth Super Bowl appearance.

The same jail records state that he was released on a $10,000 bond on Sunday. Unfortunately, this isn’t Patrick Mahomes Sr.’s time getting arrested for DWI. Records from Smith County indicate that he has been arrested for a total of six times for DWI – twice in 2012, twice in 2018, once in 2019, and now in 2024.
Following a guilty plea in 2018, he received a 40-day jail sentence, which he served on weekends from February 2019 to February 2020. The Texas law states that the third DWI conviction is considered a third-degree felony. If convicted, the maximum prison sentence is 10 years in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
The former MLB player was last in the news for a whacky jacket he had worn.

It became a “Kansas City vs. Everybody” scenario, and social media reflects the sentiment. Many seemed to want KC to lose just to prevent Taylor Swift from dominating Super Bowl coverage. Patrick Mahomes’ dad seems to be well aware of this narrative, as he was spotted wearing a jersey with the same message ahead of the AFC Title game.

It’s a refreshing sight to see Patrick Mahomes Sr. add a pop of color to his wardrobe. Perhaps the change in attire will bring about a shift in his mood as well. In the Divisional Round game, when the Chiefs scored, Brittany and Taylor were overjoyed, sharing a celebratory embrace. However, Mahomes Sr., seated in front of them, appeared to have a slight scowl on his face.
