Mahomes Sr., 55, was booked into Smith County Jail in Tyler, Texas, on Tuesday two years after he was arrested on a DWI charge and later pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to five years probation at the time.

Mahomes Sr., who pitched in the major leagues for 11 seasons, including five with the Minnesota Twins, has multiple DWI arrests on his record.
