Patrick Mahomes Sr. found himself in trouble with the law once again, just five months after his previous arrest for driving while intoxicated. The former MLB pitcher and father of three-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes was pulled over by police in Tyler, Texas, on June 29 for reportedly disregarding traffic signs. According to court documents cited by TMZ, he was then ticketed for driving with an invalid license.
This incident has led to Mahomes Sr. being scheduled to appear in court at the end of July. It is still unclear whether his license had been suspended or revoked due to this recent offense or any previous DWI charges. He is set to face trial for this latest offense later this month, which marks his sixth DWI offense, as reported by OutKick.
In 2018, Mahomes Sr. pleaded guilty in a case that resulted in him being ordered to spend 40 days in jail. Throughout his career, he pitched for various MLB teams such as the Twins, Mets, Red Sox, Pirates, Rangers, and Cubs.
Interestingly, his most recent DWI arrest occurred just a week before his son’s third Super Bowl win. Patrick Mahomes Jr., the star quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs, led his team to victory, making history as the first NFL team to go back-to-back since the New England Patriots in 2003 and 2004.
Adding to the family’s legal troubles, Mahomes Sr.’s other son, Jackson, faced felony charges in late 2023 after an incident at a restaurant in Overland Park. Allegations were made against him for shoving a waiter and forcibly kissing the female owner of the establishment, Aspen Vaughn. Vaughn recounted the incident to The Kansas City Star, stating that Jackson grabbed her by the throat and kissed her against her will.
These series of events have placed the Mahomes family under public scrutiny, with both father and son making headlines for their legal issues. Despite Patrick Mahomes Jr.’s success on the football field, the family’s off-field troubles have not gone unnoticed.
As the Mahomes family navigates these legal challenges, the spotlight remains on their actions both on and off the field. It serves as a reminder that even in the midst of athletic achievements, personal decisions can have lasting consequences.
