Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison charged with two misdemeanors after DUI arrest

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been charged with two misdemeanors and will be subject to at least a potential three-game NFL suspension — the news coming nearly a month after Addison’s arrest in Los Angeles on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI). The NFL’s policy on substance abuse dictates that players can be suspended three games for their first criminal offense regarding alcohol use, provided there aren’t other circumstances that would necessitate additional discipline.

Addison, 22, was found asleep at the wheel of his white Rolls Royce by a West Los Angeles police officer; the vehicle was blocking a lane of I-105 westbound near Los Angeles International Airport on July 12, and was cited at 11:36 p.m. PT. Addison was charged with  driving under the influence of alcohol and driving with .08% blood alcohol content (per the Star Tribune.).  If he is convicted or pleads guilty, Addison could face up to six months in jail, pay fines up to $2,000 or lose his driver’s license for up to six months. The wide receiver could also face an NFL suspension once the legal proceedings are complete. Regarding violations of the law involving alcohol, the league’s policy and program on substances of abuse reads: “Absent aggravating circumstances, discipline for a first offense will be a suspension without pay of three regular or postseason games. 

Addison’s most arrest came almost exactly a year after he was cited for speeding and reckless driving at 140 miles per hour on a freeway in St Paul, Minnesota. He subsequently agreed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor speeding charge, with a charge of reckless driving dismissed, and paid $686 in fines.

Addison had told reporters at Vikings training camp that he had been in a “dark place” at the time of the incident, but added: “Whatever’s out there for me, whatever comes with it, I’ll own up to everything. I feel like anything that comes my way is meant to happen or is deserved .. I’m just going to keep learning. I’m saying that’s all I can do, is just learn from my mistakes and keep moving forward. That’s what it is.”

Searchlight Pictures released its first trailer for its upcoming movie A Complete Unknown, featuring Timothée Chalamet (Wonka, Dune) as iconic folk and rock musician Bob Dylan. The film covers Dylan’s early years in New York City, and initial rise to fame in the 1960s.

The film is based on the Elijah Wald book Dylan Goes Electric! and is co-written and directed by James Mangold (‘Walk the Line’, ‘Logan’, ‘Ford v Ferrari’). Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Folger, Norbert Leo Butz and Scoot McNairy also star.

An official synopsis for A Complete Unknown reads: “Set in the influential New York music scene of the early 60s, A Complete Unknown follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts – his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.”

The trailer for A Complete Unknown opens with Dylan (Chalamet) performing the early hit “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” on a small stage, following an introduction from Edward Norton’s Pete Seeger.  As he sings, the two-minute teaser cuts to shots of Chalamet walking the streets of 1960s New York City, romancing Elle Fanning’s Sylvie Russo (who is inspired by Dylan’s past girlfriend artist Suze Rotolo) and falling for Monica Barbaro’s Joan Baez.

1 deputy killed, 2 other deputies injured in ambush in Florida

Lake County Sheriffs Department Police Car^

One deputy was killed and two other deputies were injured Friday night in central Florida when they were “ambushed” after responding to a disturbance Friday night.  Lake County Sheriff’s Peyton Grinnell said during a news conference that the shooting happened at a home in Eustis about 40 miles north of Orlando around 8 p.m., after deputies responded to a disturbance call.

Grinnell said at the news conference: “We went to a disturbance at one house – the initial call was for a disturbance – and then, while we were on that scene, somebody at that scene told the deputies they needed to go to the other house, that that’s where there was a problem happening.” Deputies saw what appeared to be a door kicked in, so they entered the residence to conduct a well-being check, when they walked into an ambush, Grinnell said, and were “met with a hail of gunfire ..It was a very violent scene”

The first deputy who entered the house was injured and trapped inside while another deputy was able to get out. Other law enforcement responded, and when they went to rescue the trapped deputy, they were again met with gunfire and another deputy was struck, the sheriff said.  One deputy who was shot in the shoulder and did not require surgery, and was in stable condition early Saturday. A second deputy was shot multiple times in the armpit and stomach area and was in serious/critical condition after surgery early Saturday. The third deputy who was trapped inside the home, has died.

The rescue team involved tactical equipment to tear down walls in a desperate attempt to rescue the deputy who was trapped inside the residence.  Once the scene was secured, deputies found multiple weapons inside, including handguns and long guns.   All three suspects in the shooting were also killed, Herrell said. No official cause of death has been determined, however the sheriff’s office said their gunshot wounds appear to be self-inflicted.

Lake County Sheriff’s Lt. John Herrell identified the slain deputy as 28-year-old Master Deputy Sheriff Bradley Michael Link, whom he described as a five-year veteran, joining the sheriff’s office in 2019. Herrell said Link was a “good deputy,” and became emotional while speaking about him during a press conference on Saturday: “Deputy Link wasn’t even supposed to be there. He wasn’t even part of the road patrol unit. He heard the call go out, he went there to assist .. Brad, as our Sheriff’s Office family knew him, touched the lives of all who were blessed enough to work with him; his contributions and the impact of this loss will not soon be forgotten.”
