Patrick Mahomes’ father, Patrick Mahomes Sr., was arrested in Texas for Driving While Intoxicated on Saturday and is facing a lengthy prison sentence as the arrest was his third. But he will be able to travel to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl to watch his son play the San Francisco 49ers.
A judge has made it so that the former MLB player can get out of Texas should he so desire, which leaves him free to attend Super Bowl 58. However, if convicted, Patrick Sr. could face up to 10 years in prison.
“Judge James Meredith — who handled the case in Smith County, Texas on Sunday following Mahomes Sr.’s DWI arrest — tells us he didn’t impose any travel ban on the elder Mahomes as part of his bond conditions … paving the way for Dad to watch his son play in Las Vegas in SB LVIII,” per TMZ sports.
The way fans see it, the elder Mahomes might not be able to stop drinking, but he can definitely stop driving.
“I recommend Greyhound,” one fan wrote.

Las Vegas is probably not the place to spend time if you just got into trouble because you wet your beak. But Sin City does offer plenty of transportation options which Patrick Sr. would do well to make use of.
