Jackson Mahomes, Patrick Mahomes’ younger brother, is being investigated by police over allegations that he assaulted a waiter at an Overland Park restaurant and its owner. The incidents are said to have happened last Saturday at the Aspen Restaurant and Lounge in the Kansas City metropolitan area.
Aspen Vaughn, owner of the restaurant claimed that the Mahomes has been a frequent guest at her restaurant due to a friendship with her stepdaughter and that he had visited last Saturday at around 9:30 pm with five friends.
Vaughn, 40, provided KCS and officers with surveillance footage. In the video, you can see a man, whom she says is Jackson, wrap her up in his arms and forcibly kiss her.

According to the Star’s report, Mahomes allegedly pushed a 19-year-old waiter twice and later forcibly kissed Vaughn. Vaughn said the advances were unwanted and she believed he was intoxicated.
Mahomes and his friends were congregating in the employee office in the basement, and Vaughn smelled marijuana coming from the room. The waiter tried to enter the office to get his water bottle, which was when Mahomes shoved him.

According to Vaughn, when she attempted to address the shoving incident, that’s when Mahomes forcibly kissed her. Mahomes grabbed her by her neck and the grab was with enough force that it left a faint bruise on Vaughn’s neck. Mahomes is friends with Vaughn’s stepdaughter who works at the restaurant.
“I was in shock,” Vaughn said, reported The Star, before recounting how she admonished Mahomes for his behavior. “Like you’re a child and he was trying to say ‘we should be a power couple, and I’m like ‘clearly you’re out of your mind right now.'”
