Patrick Mahomes Sr. was officially charged with a felony for allegedly driving drunk earlier this year… Texas prosecutors just indicted him for felony DWI.
According to court records, Mahomes Sr. was slapped with the count — drunk driving third or higher — on Thursday.
If convicted, he could face up to 10 years in prison… plus a fine of up to $10,000.
The 53-year-old – the father of the Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes — went first arrested in the case in Smith County, Texas, on February 3… just days before young Mahomes was scheduled to play in Super Bowl LVIII.
At the time, authorities alleged that during a routine traffic stop, Mahomes Sr. showed signs of being impaired. They added that he admitted to having a few beers in a bar before getting behind the wheel. They also said he had an open 16-ounce Coors drink in the center console.
After getting out of prison, Mahomes Sr. — who has now been charged with DWI twice — kept a relatively low profile … even when he traveled to Las Vegas to watch his son win the NFL championship over the San Francisco 49ers.
Although he had suite seats for the game, he was not seen on the broadcast… and was rarely photographed.
Mahomes II spoke briefly about his father’s criminal case before the Big Game… calling it “a family affair” which he wanted to keep private.
