ESPN is reporting that former USC and current Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison has been arrested for driving under the influence while visiting Los Angeles.
According to the police report obtained by ESPN, a West Los Angeles officer found a white Rolls Royce blocking a lane of I-105. The driver, later identified as Addison, was reportedly asleep behind the wheel. A DUI investigation led to Addison’s arrest at 11:36 p.m. PT and he was released from custody Saturday at 1:36 a.m.
Police have not made Addison’s blood alcohol content public as of yet. The legal limit in California is 0.08.
“We are aware of Jordan Addison’s arrest this past Friday and are currently gathering more information regarding the incident,” said the Vikings in a statement.
Addison was in LA for the premier of the Netflix series Receiver and to support Vikings teammate Justin Jefferson. This is the second time that Addison has been involved in an incident regarding his driving.
Addison was cited in July 2023 for driving 140 miles per hour on a freeway in Minnesota. He agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge, with a charge of reckless driving dismissed. He paid $686 in fines.
What makes this even worse is that the Vikings are still mourning the death of rookie cornerback Khyree Jackson, who was killed in a car accident last week by a drunk driver.
