Jackson Mahomes’ bond modification was approved on Tuesday for him to be able to talk to at least three of the four people listed as witnesses in the case against him.

The brother of superstar Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes declined to comment before and after the hearing. He was free after posting $100,00 bond earlier this month.

Johnson County District Judge Thomas M. Sutherland said Mahomes could not speak to one of the witnesses, who had direct knowledge of the incident. He warned the other three witnesses in the case they would not talk to Mahomes about the case, according to reports.

He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for Aug. 31.

The hearing came a day after a partially redacted affidavit was released in the case, giving more information about the allegations against the TikTok star.

Authorities in Overland Park, Kansas, initially responded to a call on Feb. 25, from a man who claimed Mahomes pushed his son, who worked at Aspens Restaurant, according to FOX 4 KC, citing the document. The restaurant employee told authorities that Mahomes shoved him when he tried to obtain his water bottle from the business’ office.

Mahomes tried to apologize to the employee later, according to the station. Surveillance footage reportedly showed the incident. Investigators then interviewed the owner of the restaurant and that was when the allegations took a more serious turn.
