Addison is set for an Oct. 7 arraignment at Los
Angeles County Superior Court after he was officially charged
last week with driving under the influence and driving with a
blood alcohol content of .08 percent, according to court
records.
According to NFL policy on substances of abuse, Addison faces a
potential suspension of at least three games.
Addison reportedly was arrested July 12 in Los Angeles on
suspicion of driving under the influence.
Citing the arrest report, the Los Angeles Daily News reported
the 22-year-old Addison, who played his final collegiate season
at Southern California in 2022, was found asleep at the wheel of
his vehicle, which was blocking the primary freeway offramp to
Los Angeles International Airport, just after 11 p.m. on July
12.
A half hour later, California Highway Patrol officers arrested
Addison following a DUI investigation. He was released from
custody shortly after 1:30 a.m. Saturday morning, according to
the report.
"We are aware of Jordan Addison's arrest this past Friday and
are currently gathering more information regarding the
incident," the Vikings said in a statement at the time.
After being selected 23rd overall in 2023, Addison hauled in 70
passes for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns last season, making the
NFL All-Rookie team.
Last July, before his rookie season, Addison was cited in
Minnesota for speeding and reckless driving after being clocked
going a reported 140 mph in a 55 mph zone.
