Vikings’ Jordan Addison’s Mugshot Released After Arrested In Florida

Minnesota Vikings third-year wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested in Tampa, Florida, early Monday morning and was charged with trespassing, according to authorities.

Addison was arrested by Seminole Indian Police at 3:46 a.m. ET on January 12 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel. He was charged with a first-degree misdemeanor for trespassing in an occupied structure, according to court documents. According to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, Addison was later released from custody after posting bail for a $500 bond.

Addison has struggled with staying out of legal trouble, as earlier in the season, the young wideout faced a three-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Addison was arrested in July of 2024 on suspicion of a DUI after he was found asleep at the wheel. He later pleaded guilty to the charge.

During the summer of his rookie season, Addison was pulled over in Minnesota for going 140 mph. As part of a plea deal, he pleaded guilty to a single speeding count in Ramsey County Court.

Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell was asked about Addison’s arrest at his end-of-season press conference and did not add any further comments, stating, “I don’t want to speculate on that in any way, shape, or form.”

Addison also drew attention to himself when he missed team walkthroughs before a matchup against the Cleveland Browns in London.

The Vikings have a big decision to make about Addison’s fifth-year player option: whether to give him that extra year. The option would guarantee Addison $17.5 million in 2027.

The former Biletnikoff award winner has totaled 2,396 yards and 22 touchdowns through his first three seasons. Addison has proven to be a reliable deep threat next to Justin Jefferson, but with questions off the field, the Vikings may have to move on from the talented wideout.
