Patrick Mahomes Sr. was arrested for DWI on February 3, 2024, just days before his son, Patrick Mahomes II, played in the Super Bowl. During the arrest, which was captured on police bodycam footage, Mahomes Sr. expressed concern that his arrest could negatively impact his son's performance in the big game, stating, 'He probably won't win the Super Bowl.' Initially cooperative, Mahomes Sr. became agitated after being handcuffed and repeatedly mentioned his son's upcoming game, claiming he had only consumed a couple of beers. He was pulled over due to driving a vehicle with expired registration and had an open can of beer in the car. Ultimately, he was sentenced to five years of probation following the incident. Despite the arrest, Mahomes Sr. attended the Super Bowl, where the Chiefs triumphed over the 49ers.
