Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has cleared a major legal hurdle from his 2024 DUI case, with a Los Angeles court ending his probation months ahead of schedule and setting the stage for his record to be wiped clean.
According to multiple reports, Addison’s 12 month probation was formally terminated nearly eight months early after the court confirmed he had met every condition of his plea agreement. Those requirements included paying a 390 dollar fine and completing two online courses tied to alcohol and driving safety.
The case stemmed from a July 2024 incident near Los Angeles International Airport, where police found Addison asleep in a Rolls Royce that was stopped in a live traffic lane. He was arrested on suspicion of DUI and later charged with two misdemeanors related to driving under the influence and driving with a blood alcohol level above the legal limit.
In July 2025, Addison chose to resolve the case by accepting a reduced charge known in California as “wet reckless,” which is reckless driving with alcohol involved. Court records and league reporting show he pleaded no contest, avoided jail time, and accepted probation instead.
His agent, Tim Younger, explained that decision at the time, saying in a public statement:
“Today, after careful consideration of the charges against him and all defenses, Jordan Addison decided to plead to a lesser included vehicular offense, commonly referred to as a ‘wet reckless.’ As a result, Mr. Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses after which we expect that his probation will be terminated early in six months.”
Younger also stressed that Addison had stayed in lockstep with the team during the process, writing that the receiver “has kept the organization apprised throughout these legal proceedings, and will continue in his full commitment to being a valuable member of his team.”
That expectation about early termination has now played out. Reports indicate that after his fine was paid and coursework completed, the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office agreed there were no violations on his record during probation and moved to end it early. Addison’s legal team now plans to seek expungement of the case so that it no longer appears on his public record.
The NFL already issued its own punishment earlier this year. After the plea deal, the league suspended Addison three games without pay for violating the substance abuse policy. He missed the first three games of the 2025 season before returning in Week 4.
Since rejoining the lineup, Addison has put together a steady stretch of play. Across nine games this season, he has 33 catches for 448 yards and three touchdowns, building on a strong start to his career that includes 1,700 plus receiving yards and double digit touchdowns over his first two seasons.
The early end to his probation does not erase the original incident, or the criticism that followed, but it does close the legal chapter sooner than expected. It also removes an off field distraction for a Vikings team still trying to salvage a difficult 4–8 campaign as they head into a matchup with the Washington Commanders.
For Addison, it marks a turning point. With court oversight now finished and expungement on the horizon, the 23 year old receiver can finally shift the conversation back to the field and to how he responds from a year that tested his career, and his judgment, off it.
