Patrick Mahomes Sr. is currently incarcerated, yet he has not been charged with any new infractions — TMZ Sports has discovered that he is merely fulfilling his sentence linked to his latest DWI conviction.
An official from the Smith County jail informed us that the father of NFL star Patrick Mahomes was processed on Tuesday around 4:53 PM and had his mug shot taken. He is not anticipated to be released until Halloween.
It is important to note that this 10-day jail time was pre-arranged, as it was stipulated in the plea deal Mahomes Sr. agreed upon with the authorities following his drunk driving arrest on February 3 in Tyler, Texas.
In accordance with his agreement with legal authorities, Mahomes Sr. consented to plead guilty to a DWI charge classified as third or greater … and he was sentenced to five years of probation alongside the short jail term.
It’s noteworthy that body camera footage we received revealed Mahomes Sr. had attempted to steer clear of conflict that night during his arrest … by invoking his son’s name.
Within the police footage, Mahomes Sr. is heard desperately asking officers for leniency … telling one of them, “My son is on the verge of playing in the f***ing Super Bowl, alright? Just hear me out. I’m not intoxicated. I assure you. I’ve had a few drinks, but this situation can’t be happening now. Please, it must not come to this.”
After his September sentencing, Mahomes Sr. informed journalists that he has decided to abstain from alcohol following the incident.
As for his son, Mahomes II is set to compete later this week … with the Chiefs facing off against the Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
