The misdemeanor trespassing charge against Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison has been dropped by a Florida state attorney. According to TMZ Sports , state attorney Susan Lopez filed the Notice of Termination of Prosecution in Hillsborough County Court on Tuesday.
Addison was arrested Jan. 12 at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa, Fla., at 3:46 a.m. ET and booked into the county jail at 7:33 a.m. The 23-year-old was released around 2:40 p.m. after posting a bond of $500. According to the police report, police were dispatched to the Noodle Bar inside the casino when Addison allegedly refused to leave. Police had to redirect Addison several times before arresting him.
“We are thrilled we were able to bring the truth to light quickly,” said Brian Pakett , Addison’s attorney. “This poor young man’s name was being dragged through the mud over frivolous allegations and absolutely zero smoke or fire. He did nothing legally wrong and thankfully the state was diligent in realizing this as soon as they did.”
