Addison Pleads to Lesser Charge in DUI Case

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison resolved his 2024 DUI case in Los Angeles by pleading no contest to a reduced 'wet reckless' charge, leading to dismissal of the DUI allegations. The plea deal requires Addison to pay a $390 fine, complete two online educational courses (including alcohol education), and serve 12 months of probation, with possible early termination after six months if compliant. Addison had voluntarily participated in Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) events prior to the plea, and his representatives kept the Vikings informed throughout. The NFL may still discipline Addison, as league policy typically calls for a three-game suspension for a first alcohol-related offense, which could affect his availability for the season. The incident in July 2024 involved Addison being found asleep at the wheel of his Rolls-Royce near LAX and followed a 2023 speeding incident in Minnesota. Despite the case resolution, the Vikings expect Addison to report to training camp.
