Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested on suspicion of DUI after being found asleep behind the wheel in El Segundo, California. The Los Angeles Daily News was the first to report the news.
A call reported a disabled vehicle blocking lanes from the westbound Glen Anderson Freeway to northbound Sepulveda Boulevard late on Friday night. California Highway Patrol responded to the call and witnessed a white Rolls-Royce blocking a traffic lane. They conducted a DUI investigation, and shortly after that, they arrested Addison.
The Minnesota Vikings released a brief statement saying they were aware of the incident and were gathering more information.

According to the report, the Vikings wide receiver was booked at 11:36 p.m. and released at 1:36 a.m. Saturday.
Last summer, Addison was cited for driving 140 mph in Minnesota and said the reason for his speeding was that his pet was having a medical emergency. He agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge and pay $686 in fines and fees with no further discipline by the team or the NFL.
