Patrick Mahomes Sr. is back behind bars, but has not been charged with other crimes – TMZ Sports discovered he had simply begun serving his sentence for his most recent DWI conviction.
A Smith County Jail official tells us… the NFL star’s father Patrick Mahomes was scheduled on Tuesday afternoon around 4:53 pm and took a new mugshot. He is now not expected to be released until Halloween.
Of course, the 10-day stint in jail was all planned… as it was a condition of the plea agreement Mahomes Sr. reached with prosecutors stemming from his Feb. 3 arrest for drunk driving in Tyler, Texas.
As part of his pact with authorities, Mahomes Sr. agreed to plead guilty to DWI third or more… and was sentenced to five years probation in addition to the brief prison sentence.
You may recall, the body camera footage we obtained showed that Mahomes Sr. had actually tried to avoid the situation entirely the night of his arrest… by evoking his son’s name.
In police video, Mahomes Sr. can be heard pleading with officers to let him escape… telling one officer, “My son is getting ready to play in the fucking Super Bowl, okay? Just listen to me. I’m not drunk. I promise you I had a few drinks, but he can’t have that right now.
After the sentencing hearing in the case in September, Mahomes Sr. told reporters that he gave up drinking after his arrest.
As for his son, Mahomes II will play later this week… when the Chiefs face the Raiders on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium.
