Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison resolved a 2024 DUI citation by pleading no contest to a lesser charge, his attorney said Thursday.
Last July, the California Highway Patrol responded to a report of a disabled vehicle blocking a lane, and Addison was found asleep in the driver´s seat of his white Rolls-Royce and was arrested.
Addison who has 133 catches for 1,786 yards and 19 touchdowns in two seasons, agreed to what is known as a "wet reckless" in California. His attorney, Jacqueline Sparagna, said he will pay a fine and complete two online courses with the expectation that his probation will be shortened from 12 to six months.
"Wet reckless" is a plea bargain in which a person charged with a DUI accepts a lesser, misdemeanor charge of reckless driving. The "wet" indicates that alcohol or drugs were involved.
"While Mr. Addison´s case would have made for a great trial, I admire him for taking responsibility by accepting the City Attorney´s "wet reckless" offer," Sparagna said. "Now, he can put this incident behind him and solely focus on his promising career."
Tim Younger, Addison´s agent, wrote on a social media post that Addison "has kept the organization apprised throughout these legal proceedings, and will continue in his full commitment to being a valuable member of his team."
Addison still could face discipline from the NFL.
