Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison has found himself in legal trouble once again, with an upcoming Oct. 7 arraignment and plea hearing in Los Angeles County Superior Court. This stems from a recent incident where he was charged with two misdemeanors – driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with .08% blood alcohol content. This incident occurred when a West Los Angeles police officer found him asleep at the wheel of a white Rolls Royce, blocking a lane of I-105 westbound near Los Angeles International Airport.
This isn’t the first time Addison has faced legal consequences for his actions. In fact, this incident in Los Angeles comes almost exactly a year after he was cited for driving 140 miles per hour on a freeway in Minnesota. Despite agreeing to plead guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge and paying fines, Addison seems to be facing a pattern of reckless behavior.
With these repeated incidents involving violations of the law, Addison could be looking at a possible NFL suspension. The league’s policy and program on substances of abuse state that for a first offense of driving under the influence, the player could face a suspension without pay of three regular or postseason games. This could have serious implications for Addison’s career and his team.
When asked about his behavior and the legal issues he faces, Addison mentioned that he had been in a „dark place“ but claimed that he would own up to everything that comes his way. He also expressed a willingness to learn from his mistakes and move forward. However, with multiple incidents occurring within a short time frame, it raises questions about whether Addison truly understands the gravity of his actions and the potential consequences.
The legal troubles facing Minnesota Vikings receiver Jordan Addison highlight the importance of personal responsibility and the potential consequences of repeated reckless behavior. As he faces an upcoming arraignment and plea hearing in Los Angeles, it remains to be seen how this will impact his career and future in the NFL. It is crucial for professional athletes like Addison to take accountability for their actions and make meaningful changes to avoid further legal issues in the future.
