According to the police report, Addison was repeatedly asked by restaurant staff to leave the premises but allegedly refused to comply. This led to his arrest by the Seminole Indian Police Department on the grounds of “probable cause.” The report also indicated that Addison had to be guided to the exit multiple times while being escorted by officers. He was booked into Hillsborough County Jail at 7:33 AM and released later that afternoon after posting a $500 bail. His charge is listed as a first-degree misdemeanor for trespassing in an occupied structure. 🏨
Addison’s legal team has stated that they are investigating the circumstances of the arrest and are considering a claim for false arrest. They expressed confidence that he will be exonerated once the full investigation is completed. This incident marks another off-field issue for the young receiver, who has had a history of legal troubles. ⚖️
At just 23 years old, Addison has faced multiple legal challenges, including a DUI arrest in July 2024, for which he was suspended by the NFL for the first three games of the 2025 season. He also faced a speeding incident in Minnesota during his rookie year, where he was caught driving 140 mph. Despite these issues, he has been a solid performer for the Vikings. 🏈
The timing of this arrest is particularly concerning for Addison, as the Vikings have the option to pick up his fifth-year option this offseason. They have until May 1, 2027, to make this decision. If they do, it would be only the third time since 2015 that the Vikings have accepted a fifth-year option. Addison is scheduled to appear in court on February 3, 2026. 📅
