Former Major League Baseball pitcher Pat Mahomes, the father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, was arrested in Texas on Saturday night on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, according to jail records.

His potential bond was not listed.

According to the Kansas City Star, Mahomes pleaded guilty to DWI in 2018 and was sentenced to 40 days in jail, which he served on weekends from February 2019 through February 2020.
