Everson Griffen Arrested and Charged With DUI

Former Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen was allegedly arrested and charged with driving under the influence, according to public records.

The alleged incident occurred Saturday afternoon in Chanhassen. Everson was charged with 4th degree DUI, which is: "the lowest degree of DUI in the state of Minnesota, and the baseline of a first-time offense." Griffen was booked at 12:41PM central time, and subsequently released an hour later at 1:41PM central time.

This comes just days after Vikings first round receiver Jordan Addison was allegedly cited for reckless driving, after going 140-MPH in a 55-MPH zone on I-94 East in St.
