As Patrick Mahomes continues to cement himself as one of the NFL's all-time great quarterbacks, his family has frequently come under the spotlight. It hasn't always been for the best.
Mahomes' brother, Jackson, found himself in legal trouble last year, and his father, Pat Sr., has also had run-ins with the law. As Super Bowl 58 approaches, Mahomes' father is facing another legal issue.
Pat Sr. was arrested in Texas on Saturday night, a week away from his son's all-important battle with the 49ers in Las Vegas. Mahomes' father has been a regular presence around the Chiefs during their playoff run, but Kansas City and San Francisco have the weekend off as they prepare to compete for the Lombardi Trophy.
Here are the details on Pat Mahomes Sr.'s arrest.

Pat Mahomes Sr. arrest
Pat Mahomes Sr. was arrested for driving while intoxicated in Smith County, Texas on Saturday night, according to TMZ. Bond has not yet been set for the former Mets pitcher.
Mahomes' charge is listed as DWI "for the third time or more," so this appears to be a repeat offense. He was arrested for DWI in 2018 and sentenced to 40 days in jail, serving his sentence exclusively on weekends between '19 and '20.
Mahomes was also arrested on a charge of public intoxication during one of his son's Texas Tech games in 2016.
The 53-year-old made headlines last week when he lightheartedly said he didn't want to watch the AFC championship from Taylor Swift's suite in Baltimore, preferring to go his own way. Whether he will be in attendance for Super Bowl 58 is unknown after Saturday's arrest.
Pat Sr.'s son, Jackson, was arrested last year on charges that include aggravated sexual battery. The felony charges against Jackson were recently dropped, though he still faces a misdemeanor battery charge.
The elder Mahomes pleaded guilty to his third DWI on Aug. 27 and was sentenced to five years of probation, including "intense supervision" for the first year.
