Vikings WR Jordan Addison was charged with two misdemeanors after his July 12th arrest. Addison could face up to a three-game suspension from the NFL. If he is convicted or pleads guilty, he could face up to six months in jail, pay fines up to $2,000 or lose his driver’s license for up to six months.
Ben Goessling: "Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was recently charged with two misdemeanors in Los Angeles County after his July 12 arrest near Los Angeles International Airport on suspicion of drunken driving.
Addison was charged on July 31 with driving under the influence of alcohol, and driving with blood-alcohol content over California’s legal limit of .08 percent, after officers found him asleep behind the wheel of a white Rolls-Royce blocking lanes of a highway near the airport. He has an Oct. 7 appearance in Los Angeles court to be arraigned and enter his plea for the charges. If he is convicted or pleads guilty, he could face up to six months in jail, pay fines up to $2,000 or lose his driver’s license for up to six months."
HC Kevin O'Connell: “You wrap your arms around these guys, and you ensure they know that we care. But at the same time, they have to understand things that are [not] going to be acceptable by any stretch.”
According to the NFL’s policy on substances of abuse, Addison could face a three-game suspension for their first criminal offense regarding alcohol use.
Often the NFL chooses to wait for the legal process to play out before handing down a suspension.
This makes it unclear if Addison will face a possible suspension this season or if the NFL will wait until 2025 if Addison's case is not decided until after the regular season starts.
We will update if any more information is made clear about a possible suspension.
