Jordan Addison’s Probation Ends Early After DUI Case Resolution
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has cleared a major legal hurdle, with his DUI-related probation officially terminated nearly eight months ahead of schedule. It’s a significant step forward for the second-year wideout, who’s been working to put a difficult chapter behind him.
Addison was arrested in Los Angeles back in July 2024 on suspicion of driving under the influence. According to reports, he was found asleep behind the wheel of a Rolls-Royce, blocking a freeway lane near LAX. The incident led to an NFL suspension and a legal process that culminated in a plea deal.
Instead of facing a full DUI charge, Addison pleaded guilty to a lesser offense-what’s known as “wet reckless” driving. That resulted in a 12-month probation, a $390 fine, and the requirement to complete two online courses. The NFL handed down a three-game suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy, sidelining him through the first three weeks of the season.
But now, Addison’s legal team has confirmed that he’s fulfilled all the terms of his probation-and then some. His attorney, Jacqueline Sparanga, stated that Addison not only met every obligation on time but often went above and beyond what was required.
With that, a judge approved the early termination of his probation. Sparanga also noted that they plan to file for expungement, which would help clear the incident from Addison’s record.
The L.A. City Attorney’s Office confirmed the probation has ended but declined to offer further comment.
On the field, Addison has picked up where he left off after returning in Week 4. Through nine games, he’s logged 33 catches for 448 yards and three touchdowns-a solid contribution for a Vikings team trying to find its rhythm in a tough season. At 4-8, Minnesota hasn’t quite matched last year’s success, but Sunday’s matchup against the 3-9 Washington Commanders presents an opportunity to get back on track.
For Addison, this legal resolution marks a turning point. He’s done the work off the field, and now, with the case behind him, he can focus entirely on what happens between the lines.
