Jordan Addison on DUI arrest: 'I was in a dark place'
Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison spoke Wednesday at training camp for the first time since his arrest in mid-July for DUI in California.
MINNEAPOLIS (FOX 9) - Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison had a pre-trial hearing in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday, stemming from his July 2024 citation for DUI.
The update
What we know:
Addison now has a pre-trial conference set for April 10. He pleaded not guilty last December to charges in the incident.
What happened
Why you should care:
Addison was arrested last July after he was found by the California Highway Patrol in the driver’s seat of his Rolls Royce asleep blocking a highway lane. He was taken into custody on suspicion of DUI at about 11:36 p.m., and released two hours later.
It happened just weeks before the Vikings reported for training camp at TCO Performance Center in Eagan. The NFL has said throughout this process it would wait for Addison’s legal situation to play out before it handed out any discipline. Addison could face a suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy.
