Patrick Mahomes Sr. is facing some serious jail time after violating probation.
Last year, the father of Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes was sentenced to five years’ probation when he was arrested on Feb 3, 2024, in Texas, after being pulled over for drinking and driving.
The arrest came days before his son was set to play in the Super Bowl, something he mentioned to police officers while getting arrested.
“Can I say one thing?” Mahomes Sr. began. “My son is getting ready to play in the f—ing Super Bowl.”

According to TMZ, Mahomes Sr. is back in jail for violating his probation after alcohol was detected on his ankle monitor and for failing to perform court-mandated community service of 3 hours per month.
Mahomes Sr. has been serving five years’ probation after pleading guilty in his 2024 DWI case, but authorities claim he broke the terms of his probation by allegedly drinking alcohol — with the probation violation report stating he had a high reading on his SCRAM alcohol ankle monitor on Jan. 1.
According to court records, Mahomes Sr. was booked into Smith County Jail on Tuesday and is currently being held without bond. Officials say his probation officer was alerted after his alcohol-monitoring ankle device reportedly showed a high reading on New Year’s Day.
The prosecutor also says he failed to perform his community service at the required rate of 3 hours per month for several months.
TMZ reports that prosecutors are pushing for Mahomes Sr. to serve a 10-year prison sentence for violating his probation.
Patrick Mahomes Sr. will likely be spending his Super Bowl Sunday behind bars — the ex-MLB player will remain in jail until a hearing next month — with prosecutors pushing for him to serve a 10-year prison sentence for violating the terms of his probation.
