Patrick Mahomes Sr., father of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, has been given the green light to attend the Super Bowl this weekend despite his recent arrest for driving while intoxicated (DWI). The decision was made by Judge James Meredith in Smith County, Texas, who did not impose any travel restrictions on Mahomes Sr. as part of his bond conditions, allowing him to support his son at the highly anticipated event in Las Vegas.
Key Takeaway
Despite his recent DWI arrest, Patrick Mahomes Sr. has been granted permission to travel to the Super Bowl to support his son, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II.
Legal Approval for Travel
Judge Meredith’s ruling means that Mahomes Sr. will be able to witness his son’s performance at the Super Bowl, although it remains uncertain whether the younger Mahomes will welcome his presence following the recent legal issue. Despite the legal permission, Mahomes Sr. is subject to certain conditions, including abstaining from alcohol and illegal substances. Additionally, he is required to have an interlock device installed in his car and must comply with random testing.
Arrest and Initial Details
Mahomes Sr. was arrested on Saturday night on a felony charge of DWI, following a routine traffic stop by the Tyler Police Department in Texas. The arrest came after evidence obtained during the stop led to the decision to detain Mahomes Sr. However, Patrick Mahomes II has not yet publicly addressed the situation, and is expected to participate in media activities at Allegiant Stadium on Monday evening as part of Super Bowl Opening Night.
