The arrest stemmed from a Feb. 25 accusation that Mahomes forcibly kissed the 40-year-old female proprietor of Aspen’s Restaurant and Lounge in Overland Park, Kansas, and shoved a waiter, police told the Kansas City CBS station KCTV-5. Detectives were reviewing surveillance footage, the Kansas City Star reported earlier

An attorney for Mahomes previously denied any wrongdoing by the social media personality.

Mahomes’ Instagram posts often featured him at games or with his famous brother.

The unidentified waiter told the Star that Mahomes entered the restaurant’s basement office with an entourage and assaulted the server when he tried to get inside for a water bottle. Aspen Vaughn, the owner, said Mahomes then grabbed her neck and kissed her multiple times while he attempted to address the shoving incident, according to the newspaper.
