Vikings receiver Jordan Addison was arrested in California late Friday on suspicion of driving drunk, just days after a teammate's death in a drunk-driving crash and nearly a year after Addison was arrested for speeding in St. Paul.

According to a report from the California Highway Patrol, officers responded to reports of a car blocking lanes of a highway near the Los Angeles International Airport. Officers say they arrived to find a white Rolls-Royce blocking the lane, with a driver apparently asleep behind the wheel.

The driver, identified as Addison, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence after a short investigation, according to the California Highway Patrol.

In a statement, the Vikings said only that the team knew of the arrest.

"We are aware of Jordan Addison's arrest this past Friday and are currently gathering more information regarding the incident," read a statement.

The arrest was first reported by the Los Angeles Daily News.

Addison was arrested last summer for speeding on Interstate 94 in St. Paul.

In August 2023, Addison agreed to plead guilty to a petty misdemeanor for driving his luxury sports car 140 miles per hour. He paid a $686 fine and had his driver's license revoked for six months.
