Patrick Mahomes Sr. was arrested in February 2024 in Tyler, Texas, on a felony DWI charge, the third such charge for the former MLB pitcher.
Mahomes, the father of Kansas City Chiefs superstar Patrick Mahomes II, was later sentenced to five years of probation. Last month, he was booked into the Smith County, Texas, jail on suspicion of drinking alcohol, which would constitute a violation of his probation.
On Monday, a judge extended that probation for two more years, the latest development in his legal problems. Mahomes’ attorney confirmed the additional 24 months to CBS 19 News. The 55-year-old has already served approximately 24 months of his probation sentence.

The latest decision came after the state of Texas withdrew its request to revoke Mahomes’ probation. The state previously filed a motion to revoke community supervision and modify the conditions of community supervision.

Mahomes must also enroll in an outpatient treatment program and increase his community service. His 30-day jail sentence was considered time served, and he was later released Monday afternoon.

A probation violation report states the officer learned on Jan. 5 that Mahomes had recorded a high blood-alcohol level on his ankle monitor on New Year’s Day.
However, a subsequent laboratory analysis revealed no alcohol in his system at that time.

The DWI arrest came a little more than a week before the Chiefs faced the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas. In an ESPN documentary released in August 2025, “Chiefs Kingdom,” the quarterback said the media circus surrounding the case as he prepared for the game ultimately became a moment of clarity for his father.
“It was during the Super Bowl. It became a story, and so I had to answer questions about it,” Mahomes recalled. “I think just knowing that it hurt me woke him up to know that you can’t keep doing the same things.”
