Patrick Mahomes Sr. allegedly violated his probation and was placed in the Smith County Jail in Tyler, Texas, KLTV reported Tuesday.
Citing district attorney Jacob Putman, the ABC affiliate wrote that Mahomes allegedly drank alcohol ― a breach of the conditions placed on him after pleading guilty to DWI in February 2024. He was given a five-year probation sentence.

Putman said Mahomes, the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, could have a hearing to contest the allegation.
The violation report alleged that Mahomes registered a high alcohol reading on his special ankle monitor on Jan. 1, TMZ noted.
The elder Mahomes, who pitched for the New York Mets and several other teams in an 11-season MLB career, has been arrested at least three times for drinking and driving.
The 2024 arrest generated a distraction just days before his son played in the Super Bowl. The father was spotted driving with an open 16-ounce beer and then struggled through sobriety tests, according to a police affidavit. He recorded a blood alcohol level of .23.
In a 2025 episode of ESPN’s docuseries “The Kingdom,” the elder Mahomes expressed remorse for dividing his son’s attention.

“For him to have to answer questions about me was probably the most embarrassing thing I’ve ever been through in my life,” he said, per People. “I called him right after and I told him, I said, ‘I’m sorry that it’s taking away from your time and taking away from your focus.’”
The football star said he hoped the incident might bring about change.
“I think just knowing that it hurt me woke him up to know that like, you can’t keep doing the same things,” the quarterback said.
HuffPost has reached out to Putman and to the younger Mahomes through the Chiefs.
