Authorities indicated an elevated reading on his SCRAM alcohol-monitoring ankle device on January 1, though subsequent urine tests on January 5 and January 9 were negative for alcohol. The district attorney confirmed the arrest was for a probation violation related to those monitoring results.
Mahomes Sr., 55, is serving a five-year probation sentence following three DWIs, with the most recent offense occurring after his son’s February 2024 Super Bowl victory. The ongoing probation was already in effect prior to this latest incident.
In addition to the 2024 DWI, Mahomes Sr. was cited for driving with an invalid license on July 12, 2024, and pled guilty to the DWI on August 27, 2024. The sentencing the following month included 10 days in jail and one year of “intense supervision” for the first year of probation, which was slated to end in late 2025.
Mahomes Sr. was booked into Smith County Jail at 8:53 a.m. and appeared to be unhappy as he posed for a mugshot, according to TMZ’s coverage. No further details were provided publicly, and additional updates are expected as the case progresses.
This is a developing story, with prosecutors and Mahomes Sr.’s representatives set to provide further information as more details become available.
