Personal life

On July 20, 2023, Addison was pulled over and cited for speed and reckless driving before reporting to his first training camp. Driving a Lamborghini Urus on Interstate 94 in Saint Paul, he was allegedly going 140 miles per hour (230 km/h) in a 55 miles per hour (89 km/h) zone at 3 AM. The same day, the Vikings released a statement, stating they were aware of the incident and were looking into it. [22] [23] Addison told a police officer at the scene that he was driving at that speed due to a medical emergency involving his pet dog. [24] [25] The next month, Addison pled guilty to a petty misdemeanor, which resulted in him paying a $686 fine and having his driver's license revoked for six months. [26] [27]

Shortly before midnight on July 12, 2024, Addison was arrested near the Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol. [28] [27] [29] At the time of his arrest, California Highway Patrol (CHP) officers found Addison asleep at the wheel, with his car blocking traffic lanes. [29] [28] He was arrested following a 30 minute investigation. [29] [28] He was then released from custody two hours later on July 13, with no charges yet to be filed. [28] [29] [27] Despite this, Addison was still facing DUI charges. [30] On July 31, 2024, Addison would be charged with two misdemeanors, driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with blood-alcohol content over California’s legal limit of .08 percent. [31] [32] His arraignment and plea hearing, which will take place in the Los Angeles Superior Court, has been set for October 7, 2024. [31] [32]
