Vikings receiver Jordan Addison will not face charges after arrest in Florida

Charges against Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison have been dropped following his arrest in Tampa, Fla., last week.

A “Notice of Termination of Prosecution” was issued Tuesday, Jan. 20, via the state attorney and is included in Hillsborough County Court case filings.

Addison was accused of first-degree misdemeanor trespassing in an occupied structure or conveyance.

He was arrested at 3:46 a.m. Jan. 12 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. According to a Hillsborough County criminal affidavit, Addison refused to leave a restaurant on the property despite being asked multiple times by staff. He had to be redirected toward the exit and escorted out of the building.

Addison was released from jail after posting a $500 cash bond, which is set to be released back to him after charges were dropped.

Addison will file a civil claim over the alleged wrong arrest, according to a report by NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.

Addison’s agent, Tim Younger, has not responded to the Minnesota Star Tribune’s request for comment.

In 2023, he was cited for driving 140 mph in a 55-mph zone on Interstate 94 in St. Paul.

Addison was a first-round selection in the 2023 NFL draft. He’s entering the fourth year of his rookie contract in 2026, and the Vikings must make a decision on his fifth-year option by May 1. That fifth-year option is projected to cost the Vikings $17.5 million, according to OverTheCap.com.

Addison has 2,396 receiving yards and 22 touchdowns on 175 receptions through his first three seasons in Minnesota, though his single-season totals in those categories have decreased each year since a rookie season he ended with 911 yards on 70 catches.

“Jordan is unique because 99 percent of the days Jordan Addison is a Viking, he is a joy to be around,” Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said Jan. 13. “He is incredibly intelligent, confident, responsible and, like all of us, what are you like on 1 percent of those days? Is it the type of thing that draws attention or not?”
