Vikings’ Jordan Addison Charged With Misdemeanor Trespassing at Tampa Casino

The case adds to a pattern of off-field issues that the Vikings say will factor into upcoming contract decisions.

Overview

  • Police records show Addison was arrested at 3:46 a.m. on Jan. 12 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, booked in the morning, and released that afternoon on a $500 bond.
  • An incident report and affidavit indicate casino staff at the Jubao Palace Noodle Bar asked him to leave multiple times and officers repeatedly redirected him toward the exit; officials have not said why he was asked to leave.
  • Younger & Associates said Addison’s legal team has begun an investigation, identified witnesses, and is reviewing a potential false-arrest claim, adding they expect him to be exonerated.
  • He faces a first-degree misdemeanor count of trespass in an occupied structure or conveyance, with a Hillsborough County court date reported for Feb. 3.
  • Coach Kevin O’Connell and GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said the team is gathering facts and noted his off-field history will weigh into decisions, including a fifth-year option due by May 1, following prior 2023 and 2024 incidents and a three-game 2025 suspension.
