Addison, age 23, was taken into custody by Seminole Indian Police at 3:46 a.m. ET on January 12, 2025. The police charged him with trespassing, a first-degree misdemeanor. The arrest occurred at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, situated about 12 miles from Tampa Bay International Airport.
Bail and Release
Following his arrest, Addison was released from custody at 2:40 p.m. ET on the same day after posting a $500 cash bond. This information was confirmed by the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.
Prior Legal Issues
This arrest adds to a growing list of legal troubles for the Vikings receiver. In July 2024, Addison faced suspension from the NFL for the first three games of the 2025 season after being arrested on suspicion of DUI in Los Angeles. He subsequently pleaded guilty to a lesser charge related to this incident.
Furthermore, Addison was cited for driving at 140 mph during the summer of his rookie year in Minnesota. He pleaded guilty to a single count of speeding, as part of a plea deal that resulted in the dismissal of a reckless driving charge.
Impact on Career
The series of events raises concerns about Addison’s future in the NFL. His recent arrest and previous legal issues may impact his position with the Minnesota Vikings moving forward.
