TYLER, Texas - Pat Mahomes, the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes Jr., was arrested in Tyler, Texas, Saturday for driving while intoxicated for the third time or more.
It’s unclear what led to his arrest by the Tyler Police Department, but jail records from Smith County show 53-year-old Patrick Mahomes, Sr., has several prior DWI arrests dating back to 2012. In 2018, he pleaded guilty to a DWI charge and was ordered to spend 40 days in jail, according to Fox News Digital.
