Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison was arrested on a misdemeanor trespassing charge in Florida.

Addison, 23, was taken into custody around 3:45 a.m. Monday, Jan. 12 in Tampa and later released after posting $500 cash bond, according to Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office arrest records reviewed by PEOPLE. The location where he was arrested is the same as the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa.

He was booked on a misdemeanor charge of trespassing in an occupied structure or conveyance, per the records.

Vikings coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters on Tuesday, Jan. 13 that he didn't want to speculate on the details surrounding Addison's arrest.

"I don't wanna speculate on that in any way, shape or form," he said, CBS Sports reported. "I do think we've gotta get as many facts and find out exactly what happened. Speculating at this point would be incredibly premature for me."

Addison's representatives commented on the arrest in a post shared to X on Tuesday.

"On Jordan’s behalf, his legal team has already initiated the investigation, identified witnesses, and we are reviewing the viability of a claim for false arrest," Younger & Associates wrote. "He looks forward to the legal process and upon full investigation, we are confident Mr. Addison will be exonerated."

Addison was previously arrested on a DUI charge in 2024, which led to his suspension during the first three games of the 2025 NFL season, CBS Sports reported.
