Patrick Mahomes’ father Pat was recently sentenced after pleading guilty to DWI and having a blood alcohol content of 0.23 during a Feb. 3 traffic stop – almost three times the legal limit in Texas.
It was reportedly at least the sixth time Pat Mahomes had been arrested for driving while intoxicated. He was previously charged with DWI two times in 2012, twice in 2018, and one more time in 2019. It was reportedly at least the 11th time he had been arrested since 2009.
Despite all of that, while facing up to 10 years in a Texas Department of Criminal Justice penitentiary and up to a $10,000 fine, a judge still allowed him to travel to Las Vegas just eight days after his felony arrest so he could watch Patrick play in the Super Bowl. Thank goodness too, as you will see in the arrest video below.
Last month, the former Major League Baseball pitcher was sentenced and only received five years probation for a DWI third time or more charge, will be under “intense supervision,” must complete 160 community service hours, has to attend a substance abuse evaluation through the probation department, take a life skills course, enroll in the DWI repeat offender program, take Alcohol Anonymous classes, and spend 10 mandatory days in jail.
Police video obtained by TMZ this week now reveals how Patrick Mahomes Sr. attempted to use his famous son’s name to get out of that DWI arrest.
At one point in the video, this is after he handed over an open can of Coors Light that he had in his center console, Pat Mahomes asks police officers, “Are y’all serious?”
Then, appearing to become even more upset at having to take sobriety tests, he tells police, “I’m supposed to be going to the Super Bowl to watch my son play football, and this is what we’re doing?”
After being placed in the backseat of a police cruiser, Pat Mahomes once again invoked his famous son’s name to try and weasel his way out of the arrest.
“Can I say one thing?” he said. “My son is getting ready to play in the f—— Super Bowl, okay? Just listen to me. I am not drunk. I promise you. I’ve had some drinks. But he can’t have this right now. Listen, this can’t happen.”
Oh, but it did. Again.
“Dude. This is crazy. My son is getting ready to play in the f—— Super Bowl and I’m doing interviews, five or six a day. And then, now, this s—‘s going to be on the news which is going to f— with him, and it’s probably going to f— him up.”
He then decided that he would try and guilt trip the police into letting him go.
“And he probably won’t win the Super Bowl,” Mahomes said. “But that’s fine. If that’s what y’all want to do, that’s good.”
Thankfully, Patrick Mahomes was still able to win the Super Bowl or those poor cops would have had to live with that on their conscience for the rest of their lives.
