More risky actions are being alleged against former Minnesota Viking Everson Griffen, this time he has been ticketed for going 130 miles per hour on a Twin Cities interstate while on probation for drunken driving.
The 37-year-old Griffen was stopped about 10:15 p.m. Friday in Minnetonka by police on Interstate 494 near Stone Road, according to court records.
The citation, for misdemeanor reckless driving and petty misdemeanor speeding, says Griffen was driving a Bentley Bentayga SUV at 130 mph. That’s more than double the 60 mph speed limit on that stretch of interstate.
The Minnesota Star Tribune reached out to Griffen on Wednesday regarding the traffic stop.
Griffen, who has remained in the Twin Cities after his retirement, was accused in July of creating an unspecified scene soon after takeoff from Chicago to the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, [according to TMZ Sports](https://www.tmz.com/2025/07/16/everson-griffen-removed-from-flight/).
Delta Air Lines said pilots went back to O’Hare International Airport “to have an unruly passenger removed.”
In November, Griffen was sentenced to a 60-day term for driving while drunk in May on a Minneapolis interstate. Judge Gina Brandt set aside a year in the workhouse for Griffen and put him on supervisory probation for four years.
