Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been charged in Los Angeles County with two misdemeanors after being arrested in July on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI), according to The Star Tribune.

Police allegedly found found Addison, 22, asleep at the wheel of his vehicle near Los Angeles International Airport on July 12, the outlet reported. He is now facing charges of driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with a blood-alcohol level over California’s 0.08 percent legal limit, according to The Star Tribune.

If Addison is convicted, he could reportedly face as much as six months in jail and fines as high as $2,000. His license could also be suspended, the outlet reported. (RELATED: Sin City Super Bowl Claims NFL Victim As Hometown Raiders Star Janarius Robinson Arrested In Vegas For DUI)

Addison was cited for speeding and reckless driving in Minnesota in 2023. Police clocked him driving at 140 miles per hour in St. Paul, according to TwinCities.com. He agreed to a guilty plea in August in return for the dismissal of a reckless driving charge, court records reportedly said. His speeding charge became a petty misdemeanor, the outlet reported.

The athlete took responsibility for his recent alleged actions, according to The Star Tribune. He reportedly said he would accept “whatever disciplinary action that come my way.” He could face a three-game suspension for a first-time criminal offense relating to alcohol, the outlet reported.

Several other NFL stars have faced consequences for allegedly driving under the influence. New England Patriot cornerback Malcolm Butler and former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman were both arrested on DUI charges in 2024.

Butler’s case began after police in North Providence, Rhode Island said they found his vehicle blocking traffic, according to Sports Illustrated. He reportedly refused to take a chemical test and was subsequently charged, law enforcement said. He later gave a no contest plea on a reckless driving charge, his lawyer stated, WJAR reported. Washington State Patrol officers arrested Sherman near Seattle, ESPN reported. He was reportedly released after posting bail.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
