Mahomes’ father gets probation in DWI plea

Aug 27, 2024, 12:29 PM ET

The father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes pleaded guilty Tuesday to a charge of Driving While Intoxicated 3rd Or More, the same day he was scheduled for a jury trial in Smith County, Texas.

Pat Mahomes Sr., 54, agreed to a sentence of five years’ probation with “intense” supervision for the first year, local TV outlets reported. Judge Kerry L. Russell ordered a pre-sentence report ahead of Mahomes’ formal sentencing on Sept. 23.

The charge against Mahomes, a third-degree felony, carried a sentence of up to 10 years in prison if he was convicted, according to state law.

Mahomes pleaded guilty to a previous DWI arrest in Texas in 2018 and was sentenced to 40 days in jail, which he served on weekends.

Mahomes’ attorney declined to speak after the hearing.

A former major league pitcher, Mahomes played for six teams over 11 seasons from 1992 to 2003. He was 42-39 with a 5.47 ERA in 308 career games (63 starts) for the Twins, Red Sox, Mets, Rangers, Cubs and Pirates. He was part of the 1999 NL playoffs with the Mets.
