Luca Evans of the O.C. Register reports that wide receiver Jordan Addison has been arrested near Los Angeles International Airport under suspicion of driving under the influence.
Addison, the Vikings’ top pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, was back in Los Angeles this weekend, where he spent the final season of his collegiate career after two years at Pittsburgh. Late on Friday night, officers responded to reports of “a white Rolls-Royce blocking the number one lane of the freeway.”
Addison, the driver of that vehicle, was reportedly found sleeping behind the wheel when officers arrived at the scene. The 22-year-old was arrested at approximately 11:36 p.m. and released two hours later, at 1:36 a.m. on Saturday
This arrest comes almost exactly a year after Addison was cited for speed and reckless driving after being pulled over for driving 140 mph on a Minnesota freeway in a Lamborghini Uus. According to ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, Addison agreed to plead guilty in 2023 to a misdemeanor speeding charge and pay $686 in fines and fees, while Ben Goessling of the Star Tribune reminds us that Addison faced no discipline from the league for the incident last year.
