Jackson Mahomes restaurant video goes viral after controversial arrest of Patrick's brother
Jackson Mahomes was arrested early Wednesday morning after months of investigating an incident that occurred in February in Kansas City. Just weeks after his brother Patrick won his second Super Bowl, Jackson was at a restaurant in Overland Park. He allegedly shoved the waiter and then grabbed the owner, Aspen Vaughn, by the throat and kissed her, without her consent.
On Wednesday morning, Jackson was arrested on charges of aggravated sexual battery stemming from the incident. Video footage from the restaurant's security cameras has also been released and gone viral on social media.

Vaughn said she tried to push Jackson away multiple times, but to no avail.
"He forcibly kissed me out of nowhere. and Iโm telling him, pushing him off saying, โWhat are you doing?โ and then he proceeded to do it two more times, where the last time I was pushing him off, and I can see on the cameras that somebody was outside the office door, and I was yelling for them to come help, because heโs big and massive."
The video footage does depict the scene that Vaughn told authorities about when she reported the incident. The social media influencer has yet to comment since the Feb. 23 incident and even took a long hiatus from posting content.
Jackson Mahomes was booked shortly after 7:00 am CT at the Johnson County Jail. The 22-year-old's arraignment is scheduled for this afternoon and he's currently being held on $100,000 bail.

Brittany said that those who criticized him were 'ignorant' and that he was just trying to find his way in life. She finished by saying that nobody has the right to say anything about the younger Mahomes because they haven't walked in his shoes.
"They are ignorant. He is a human just trying to live his life and find his way and until you walk a day in his shoes (which no one ever will) you have no right to say s--- about him."
Brittany and Jackson have been close friends even before she was married. They are often seen attending Kansas City Chiefs games together and taking photos on the sidelines.
