Patrick Mahomes Sr pleads guilty to third DWI charge: Report

Three weeks after celebrating 6 months of sobriety, Patrick Mahomes' father has an update to his legal battle with DWI charges. On Tuesday, Patrick Mahomes Sr pleaded guilty to DWI charges after an arrest in Texas in February.

According to TMZ, the former MLB player entered the plea on Tuesday, shortly before his case was expected to proceed to trial in Smith County, Texas. The official charge against Patrick Mahomes Sr is "DWI third or more," with an expected sentence of 10 years.

Apart from 10 years of jail time, a $10,000 fine could be issued. However, according to the publication, Patrick Mahomes' father could get his sentence reduced in a plea deal. Nevertheless, the former MLB player is expected to receive sentencing on September 23, 2024.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. was first charged with DWI felony in April, shortly after his arrest in February, when open beer cans were found during a traffic stop. According to the court documents, the quarterback's father confessed to being under the influence while driving his car.

Patrick Mahomes' father completes 6 months of sobriety

Earlier this month, Patrick Mahomes Sr celebrated his six months of sobriety with an Instagram post featuring a picture with MLB star Pete Rose. The post came almost a month after he was expected to face 10-year probation on DWI charges. Celebrating his accomplishment, Mahomes Sr wrote:

"I would like to thank my God, wife, family, and friends for 6 months on the sunny side of the road. I know it’s been hard getting to know sober Pat, but it’s well worth it. Trisha Mahomes, thanks for all you do."

Even though Patrick Mahomes Sr has entered the plea with the hope of reducing his jail time, there's still a chance he could receive a significant penalty. His previous history with a DWI in 2019 could affect the sentencing.

Neither Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, nor anyone from the Mahomes family, or the attorney has commented. Sentencing is expected on Sept. 24; however, a penalty could be issued earlier.
