Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, on Tuesday pleaded guilty to DWI third time or more charge.
Mahomes Sr., was arrested on Feb. 3 after a traffic stop around 8:30 p.m. in the 1100 block of W. Gentry Pkwy for driving while intoxicated for a third time or more. The officer said there was evidence obtained during the stop that led to his arrest for DWI.
On Tuesday, he was set to go to trial in the case, but he decided to enter a guilty plea. He is expected to formally receive five years’ probation with intense supervision for the first year. If Mahomes Sr. were to fail his probation, he could face 10 years in prison.
A DWI third time or more is considered a third-degree felony. A person convicted of a third-degree felony faces two to 10 years in prison and possibly a fine not exceeding $10,000, according to the Texas Penal Code.
He will be formally sentenced on Sept. 23 in the 7th District Court.
Mahomes Sr., also has a pre-trial hearing in October for driving with an invalid license.
An arrest affidavit states that during the stop, the officer spotted an open 16 oz. beer can in the console. Mahomes Sr. also admitted to having “a few beers” at a bar. When a field sobriety test was performed, the arresting officer said they noticed evidence of intoxication. The registration on his vehicle had also been expired since September 2022, according to the document.
In 2019, Mahomes Sr., was sentenced to 40 days in jail for DWI second or more. Judicial records state he served weekends to fulfill that sentence.
