In a brief statement, the Vikings said the team knows of the arrest.
“We are aware of Jordan Addison’s arrest this past Friday and are currently gathering more information regarding the incident,” the team said Sunday.
Addison, who is set to begin his second season with the Vikings, was cited a year ago for speeding in St. Paul, driving 140 mph on I-94. His drivers license was revoked for six months following that citation.
The latest incident in California comes just a week after Addison’s teammate Khyree Johnson was killed in car crash in Maryland. Authorities say alcohol may have been a factor in that crash.
