Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes Sr. has been arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated in Tyler, Texas. The 54-year-old father of Super Bowl-bound Patrick Mahomes was detained on Saturday night and his bond was set at $10,000. Jail records indicate that Mahomes Sr. was released on Sunday. This is not his first run-in with the law, as he was previously arrested on the same charge in 2019 and served 40 days in jail.

Mahomes Sr., a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for 11 seasons from 1992 to 2003, has a history of brushes with the law. Jail records show that he has been booked 11 times since 2009, including multiple charges of driving while intoxicated. CNN has reached out to Mahomes Sr.'s representative and an attorney who previously represented him in a DUI case, but has not received immediate responses. The Tyler Police Department has also been contacted for more information about the arrest.

This incident comes just days before Patrick Mahomes Jr. is set to lead the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers. Despite his father's arrest, Mahomes Jr. remains focused on the game and plans to have his father in attendance to support him. In an interview with "CNN This Morning," Mahomes Sr. expressed his pride in his son's success and called it “surreal” to see him achieve so much at such a young age.

In addition to his father's legal troubles, Patrick Mahomes Jr.'s brother, Jackson, recently had three felony charges against him dismissed. He had been accused of grabbing a woman's neck and kissing her without her consent. Despite these challenges within his family, Mahomes Jr. has continued to excel on the football field. In 2020, he signed a record-breaking half-a-billion-dollar contract extension with the Chiefs, solidifying his status as one of the highest-paid athletes in professional sports.

As the news of Mahomes Sr.'s arrest continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how this will impact the Chiefs and their preparations for the Super Bowl. The team will undoubtedly rally around their star quarterback, but distractions like these can have an impact on players and their focus. The Mahomes family will need to navigate these challenges as they support Patrick Mahomes Jr. in his quest to bring home another championship for Kansas City.
