Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was speeding 140 miles per hour in his luxury SUV because of an emergency with his dog,Surpassing according to ESPN.
The publication cited a report filed with the Ramsey County District Court on Monday and said the first-round draft pick is facing charges of speeding and reckless driving. The police report said Addison "stated his dog was having an emergency at his residence and that was the reason for his speed."
Addison's Instagram post from July 15 includes a photo of him posing with a small brown dog, although it's uncertain if that is the animal referred to in the case.
Early Thursday morning, he was pulled over for driving 140 miles per hour in his Lamborghini Urus on an interstate in St. Paul where the speed limit is 55 miles per hour.
On Friday, the former USC standout released a public statement acknowledging that he "made a mistake and used poor judgment."
The Vikings commented, “We are aware of last night’s traffic incident involving Jordan Addison and are gathering additional information."
Addison was selected by Minnesota as the No. 23 overall pick in this spring's draft. He joins offensive player of the year Justin Jefferson in the wide receiver corps.
