Vikings WR Jordan Addison arrested Friday for suspicion of DUI 

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence on Friday near Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), the California Highway Patrol confirmed to NFL.com.

At approximately 11:06 p.m. PT on Friday, the Los Angeles Communications Center was advised that there was a disabled vehicle blocking lanes on I-105. When a California Highway Patrol officer arrived to the scene, a white Rolls-Royce was spotted with Addison asleep behind the wheel. Following a DUI investigation, Addison was arrested at 11:36 p.m. He was then released from custody Saturday at 1:36 a.m.

“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, which was obtained by NFL Network Insider Tom Pelissero.

The incident occurred less than a week after Addison’s teammate, Khyree Jackson, and two others were killed in a car crash in which alcohol was possibly a contributing factor, according to Maryland State Police investigators.

This is also the second consecutive offseason Addison has encountered a legal issue on the road. In July 2023, he was cited for speeding and reckless driving by the Minnesota State Patrol for going 140 mph in a 55 mph zone.

Addison, 22, was drafted No. 23 overall out of USC in the 2023 NFL Draft by the Vikings. He completed his first NFL season with 70 receptions for 911 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns.

Vikings veterans are set to report for training camp on July 23.
