On May 3, Jackson Mahomes was arrested on charges of sexual battery. The arrest stemmed from a March incident where Mahomes allegedly forcibly kissed the owner of a restaurant in Kansas City. Surveillance footage shows Mahomes grabbing the woman by the throat from behind and pulling her back towards him before kissing her. The woman appears uncomfortable during the interaction. Additionally, a male server at the restaurant has accused Mahomes of shoving him. Mahomes was initially held on a $100,000 bond and will face a court hearing later this year.
However, Mahomes has vehemently denied the allegations. “Our investigation has revealed substantial evidence refuting the claims of Jackson’s accuser including the statements of several witnesses,” Mahomes’ attorney Brandan Davies said. “We have reached out to law enforcement to provide the fruit of our investigation so that they may have a complete picture of the matter.”
Patrick Mahomes Addresses The Arrest
Mahomes has garnered some minor social media fame and a lot of social media controversy. However, his biggest claim to media attention is that his brother is Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, Patrick Mahomes. Since joining the NFL in 2017, the Mahomes has won two Super Bowls as well as two MVPs. He is one of the pre-eminent quarterbacks in the league and still in his prime at just 27 years old.
However, Mahomes has finally broken his silence on his brother’s arrest and the allegations against him. “At the end of the day,” the QB told the media, “I come here to play football and try to take care of my family, at the same time. So, [I] just kind of keep it to myself and just go out there and play football when I’m in the building. It’s your family,” he said, “but you have to come in here and do a job. And that’s what I try to do every day.” With that, Mahomes has made it clear that he doesn’t want to be asked about Jackson, especially as the case unfolds against him.
