More shocking details about Mahomes Sr’s arrest have now come to the fore. Mahomes Sr told police that he “had a few beers while watching a game at a local bar” on being asked why he was drinking while driving.
This was Mahomes Sr’s third DWI arrest, which is penalised by up to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. He agreed to perform Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. As per reports, he displayed four clues of intoxication during the Horizontal Gaze Nystagmus eye test, five clues during the Walk and Turn test, and two clues during the One Leg Stand.
“Based on the totality of the circumstances,” the arresting officer said. “I believed Patrick was impaired to a perceptible degree while operating a motor vehicle in a public place.”
