Kansas City Chiefs 10th Overall Draft Pick Pat Mahomes Robbed At Gunpoint In Texas
SMITH COUNTY – Patrick Mahomes II, the No. 1 draft pick for the Kansas City Chiefs, and three others were reportedly robbed at gunpoint in Smith County on May 12.
According to a press release from the Smith County Sheriff’s Office, deputies were sent to a residence on Mansion Creek Circle around 9:15 p.m. in reference to an aggravated robbery.
The victims reported they were approached by two suspects while exiting a vehicle at the residence. One of the suspects “was seen gesturing as if he had a handgun in his waistband.”
The suspects demanded property from the four victims before fleeing in a vehicle. No one was injured during the robbery.
After getting vehicle and suspect descriptions, deputies were able to quickly find the vehicle, conduct a traffic stop near County Road 273, and arrest the two suspects inside, identified as 34-year-old Michael Blake Pinkerton and 58-year-old Billy Ray Johnson. Both were transported to the Smith County Jail.
So obviously this is very scary for Pat and everyone else involved. Thankfully, no one was hurt and the two suspects were apprehended fairly quickly. You’d think two guys robbing an NFL quarterback at gunpoint would look a little more intimidating than these guys though..
Not the best start for Pat Mahomes career as a Chief, but I’m kind of shocked this hasn’t happened to Alex Smith yet.
