On the heels of Vikings receiver Jordan Addison receiving a citation for reckless driving, new information came to light Monday regarding an explanation of the events leading up to the Thursday incident.
Addison, the No. 23 pick in the 2023 NFL draft, was stopped by Minnesota State Patrol just outside St. Paul, Minn. last week for driving 140 mph in a 55-mph zone. With questions still swirling around the violation, a citation filed Monday with the Ramsey County District Court in St. Paul described the reason for Addison’s excessive speed as his response to learning of an emergency involving his pet dog.
The citation, per a report from ESPN, stated Addison told officers “his dog was having an emergency at his residence and that was the reason for his speed.” The citation also reportedly noted the 21-year-old rookie received misdemeanor charges of speeding and reckless driving.
