Patrick Mahomes Sr. pleaded guilty to his third DWI offense on Tuesday.
The 54-year-old retired Major League reliever and the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II appeared in a Smith County (Texas) Court, where he agreed to a five-year probation sentence that includes ‘intense’ supervision over the first year.
Judge Kerry L. Russell’s ordered a pre-sentence report, but a formal sentencing will be held on September 23. Mahomes Sr. faced a potential 10-year sentence and up to a $10,000 fine.
The elder Mahomes was seen leaving the court room in a black long-sleeve shirt along with his attorney, who declined comment, according to KLTV.com.
The affidavit from Mahomes’ February 3 arrest states that officers found an open container of alcohol and an expired registration during a routine traffic stop. Mahomes also admitted to having a ‘few beers’ while watching a game at a nearby bar.

The shot appears to come from a celebrity golf tournament that both Mahomes Sr. and the Cincinnati Reds legend attended back in June.

He was previously sentenced to 40 days in jail in 2019 after one of his DUI offenses.
The younger Mahomes declined to discuss the arrest with reporters in Las Vegas in the days leading up to his second consecutive Super Bowl victory.
‘It’s a family matter, so I’ll keep it to the family,’ Mahomes told reporters on Super Bowl opening night. ‘That’s all I have to say.’
A divorced father of four, Mahomes Sr. posted a 5.34 ERA over 11 MLB seasons, during which time he was primarily used as a reliever.
Mahomes II inherited his father’s passion for baseball. Not only was he a high school star in Texas, but the reigning Super Bowl MVP is also a minority owner of the Kansas City Royals.
Furthermore, Mahomes Sr.’s former Minnesota Twins teammate, retired reliever LaTroy Hawkins, is Mahomes II’s godfather.
