Patrick Mahomes’ Dad Begs Judge to Remove Painful Ankle Monitor — Graphic Photos Reveal His Gruesome Injuries
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Patrick Mahomes’ father is asking a Texas judge for relief from his alcohol monitoring bracelet. Court documents detail significant pain and skin damage. The Chiefs quarterback’s dad claims the device has become unbearable.
Patrick Sr. currently serves probation from a 2024 felony DWI case. He has completed community service, fines, and other requirements. The ankle monitor remains a key condition of that supervision.
According to filings obtained by TMZ, the device caused serious skin irritations. Creams prescribed for the issue failed to help. Swelling grew so severe that the bracelet could not move on his ankle.
Patrick Mahomes’ Dad Documents Painful Injuries
Patrick Mahomes’ father first asked his probation officer about removing the monitor. The officer observed the swollen ankle in person. Officials then moved the bracelet to the other ankle. The same problems quickly returned.
A doctor’s note described damage caused by the “shackle.” Patrick Sr. submitted to voluntary hair-follicle and blood tests on July 1 and July 2. Both results came back negative for alcohol.
He now requests permission to switch to an in-home portable alcohol monitor. The change would allow him to continue compliance without the constant physical irritation. Court records show the probation officer documented the visible swelling.
The earlier probation extension added time after previous concerns. Patrick Sr. has maintained that he remains committed to the terms of his sentence.
Patrick Mahomes Family Faces Ongoing Legal Matters
Mahomes has spoken publicly in the past about the impact of his father’s legal troubles. The quarterback admitted the 2024 arrest before the Super Bowl hurt him. The family continues to navigate the long-term effects of that case.
Patrick Sr. has appeared in court multiple times since the original conviction. He previously received permission to attend certain family and football events under supervised conditions. The current request focuses solely on the medical issues caused by the monitor.
The judge will review the photos, doctor’s note, and negative test results. A decision on replacing the ankle bracelet with a portable device remains pending. No further violations have been alleged in the latest filing.
Supporters of the request point to the completed requirements and clean recent tests. Critics of ankle monitors often cite skin problems as a common complaint among wearers. This case highlights those concerns in a high-profile setting.
The original sentencing details included jail time followed by extended probation. Patrick Sr. has now served a substantial portion of that supervision period.
Family background on the Mahomes household remains well documented.
