According to the report, the Vikings wide receiver was warned at 11:36 p.m. and released at 1:36 a.m. on Saturday.

Last summer, Addison was cited for speeding 140 mph in Minnesota. The reason for his speeding was a medical emergency involving his pet. He agreed to plead guilty to speeding and pay $686 in fines and fees, with no further disciplinary action from the team or NFL.
