Mahomes Sr.’s attorney, Joseph D. Murphy said his client is currently sober.

Mahomes Sr. was arrested for his third DWI after a traffic stop on Feb. 24 — just eight days before his son led the Chiefs to a victory over the 49ers in the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.
He allegedly had “a visible open container of an alcoholic beverage” in his vehicle and “admitted to having consumed alcoholic beverages,” per the incident report, obtained by Us Weekly.
Mahomes Sr. was also busted in June for driving with an invalid license in Tyler, Texas. He is scheduled to appear for a pre-trial hearing in regards to that charge on Oct. 15, according to KLTV.
