Judge Makes Decision on Jail for Patrick Mahomes’ Father Pat Sr.
A little more than a month after being arrested in Texas for allegedly violating his probation, Pat Mahomes Sr. is being released from jail, according to multiple reports.
The father of Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes had his probation extended two more years by Judge Kerry Russell, according to KLTV. Mahomes Sr., 55, previously pleaded guilty to DWI in August 2024 and was sentenced to five years probation.
Mahomes Sr. found not to have violated probation
Back on Feb. 3, authorities in Texas arrested Mahomes Sr., claiming that the former MLB pitcher's ankle monitor registered an alcohol reading of 0.045 on Jan.. 1.
However, during Monday's hearing, it was revealed that a hair follicle test came back clean, and Mahomes Sr. did not admit to drinking. As a result, the court elected not to revoke Mahomes Sr.'s probation, with Russell instead extending and modifying it.
Mahomes Sr., who has been kept at Smith County jail in Tyler, Texas since his arrest last month, should be out later today. If his probation had been removed, he faced up to 10 years in jail.
What are the new conditions Mahomes Sr. must follow?
Mahomes Sr. was sentenced to 30 days in jail, but has been credited with time served since February.
Additional guidelines he must follow include:
- 16 week out-patient counseling
- Ankle monitor (SCRAM Unit) has been extended two years
- 120 days to complete 31.2 hours of community service
- No travel permitted for the remainder of his probation
The final caveat listed could be an issue if Mahomes Sr. wants to travel to see his son play, but even if he is unable to secure an exemption, being able to watch the Chiefs at home is better than having to do it behind bars.
Mahomes Sr. will remain on probation through 2031.
