Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes II, encountered legal trouble last month in Texas.
According to recent court documents, Mahomes Sr. was arrested for driving with an invalid license, marking another incident following his earlier arrest for alleged drunk driving in the same county.
Reported by TMZ, Mahomes Sr. was cited for driving on an invalid license around 8:30 pm on June 29. He also received a warning for disregarding traffic signs, hinting at a potential moving violation during the incident.
Scheduled to appear in court by July 31, Mahomes Sr. is simultaneously preparing for a DWI trial set to commence later this month in Texas.
His official indictment for ‘Driving While Intoxicated 3rd or More’ occurred on March 28, with potential penalties including a 10-year prison sentence and a fine of up to $10,000.
This recent legal issue adds to Mahomes Sr.’s history of DUI-related charges.
Previously, he served a 40-day jail sentence in 2019 due to a prior DUI offense, reflecting ongoing legal challenges.

Mahomes II, currently a minority owner of the Kansas City Royals, excelled in high school baseball in Texas before achieving NFL stardom.
Recently honored at the ESPY Awards for Best NFL Player and Best Athlete in Men’s Sports, Mahomes II continues to shine.

Amidst media scrutiny, Mahomes II chose not to discuss his father’s legal troubles extensively, stating, ‘It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,’ during a press event before his Super Bowl victory.
Family Ties in Sports
Mahomes II’s connections to baseball extend beyond his father, with former MLB player LaTroy Hawkins serving as his godfather.
These ties underscore Mahomes II’s deep roots in sports and his ongoing success despite personal challenges within his family.
