Patrick Mahomes Sr. has begun serving his jail sentence for a drunk driving conviction earlier this year.
Mahomes Sr., 54, the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was booked Tuesday, October 22 at the Smith County Jail in Tyler, Texas, Us Weekly can confirm.
He is scheduled to serve a 10-day sentence in accordance with a plea agreement Mahomes Sr. reached in August. Mahomes Sr. pleaded guilty after he was arrested in February on a charge of driving while intoxicated.
During a routine traffic stop for expired registration, Mahomes Sr. admitted to cops that he had been drinking and an open beer container was found in his vehicle. It marked at least the sixth time Mahomes Sr. has been arrested for driving while intoxicated.

In body cam footage from the latest incident obtained by TMZ on Friday, October 18, Mahomes Sr. worried his arrest would impact his son’s performance in the Super Bowl, which was going down eight days later.
“My son is getting ready to play in the f—ing Super Bowl,” Mahomes Sr. could be seen begging cops. “I am not drunk, I promise you. I’ve had some drinks, but he can’t have this right now. This can’t happen.”
He continued, “I promise you, I don’t say a lot of stuff about nothing. I’ve had a couple of drinks, yes I have, but I am not drunk. Dude, seriously? We don’t have stars from around here. I’m very, very knowledgeable and capable. Dude, I can get somebody to drive me, but we can’t have this.”
