WR Michael Floyd's defense that kombucha tea
caused him to violate terms of his house arrest by accidentally
ingesting alcohol has the support of his team. Vikings chief
operating officer Kevin Warren wrote a letter backing Floyd's
claim that he did not know kombucha tea contains alcohol,
according to Brian Murphy of the St. Paul Pioneer Press. Warren
sent the letter to Floyd's attorney, Robert Feinberg, who
attached it to a defense motion urging Scottsdale (Ariz.) City
Judge Statia Hendrix to cancel the hearing and reinstate
electronic monitoring for the last five days of Floyd's 96-day
home confinement. According to the newspaper, Warren's letter
corroborates Floyd's claim that he was unaware kombucha tea
contained alcohol when he drank several bottles while watching
movies into the early morning of June 11. Floyd, 27, later
failed three self-administered Breathalyzer tests and was
ordered by the Scottsdale judge to appear Monday and prove he
did not violate probation from his February extreme DUI
conviction. The violation could land Floyd back in jail.
