In police video footage of the 2024 incident, obtained by TMZMahomes Sr. pleaded with officers while handcuffed and mentioned his son’s name several times.
“Can I say something?” Mahomes Sr. began. “My son is getting ready to play in the fucking Super Bowl.”
Mahomes Sr. admitted he had “had a few drinks” earlier, citing concerns about how the arrest could harm his son and the Chiefs as they prepared for the Super Bowl. “I’m not drunk, I promise. I’ve had a few drinks, but he can’t have this right now. This can’t happen.”
Mahomes Sr. went on to explain that the car he was driving at the time was a gift and that he would have the corresponding registration “in the next two days.”

“We’ve never had a star here in this area, and now we have a chance to be a star, and now we’re going to have a scandal,” he said. “We’re going to have a scandal for no damn reason because my registration from when he gave me the car hasn’t arrived yet, which would probably be in a day or two.”
Both Patrick Mahomes Sr. and the Chiefs quarterback addressed the DWI incident in an episode of the ESPN documentary series, “The Kingdom.”
“It was during that Super Bowl. It became a story, so I had to answer questions about it,” Mahomes II said in the episode. “I think just knowing that I was hurting woke him up and he realized that you can’t keep doing the same things.”
