Patrick Mahomes Sr., the father of Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes II, was sentenced to five years' probation for a DWI third time or more charge.
Mahomes Sr., pleaded guilty in August to the charge in connection with a Feb. 3 traffic stop on Gentry Parkway in which the officer found evidence leading to his arrest for driving while intoxicated.
On Monday afternoon, Mahomes Sr. was sentenced to five years' probation with intense supervision for the first year. If Mahomes Sr. were to fail his probation, he could face 10 years in prison.
Other requirements include 160 community service hours, a substance abuse evaluation through the probation department, a life skills course, enrollment in the DWI repeat offender program and Alcohol Anonymous classes.
Also under Texas law, Mahomes Sr. will have to serve 10 mandatory days in the county jail.
His lawyer also asked about Mahomes Sr. traveling during football season to watch his son Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II play.
Judge Kerry Russell of the 7th District Court said he would need to speak to Smith County probation about traveling for those purposes.
