Vikes say they disciplined DC for DWI charge

MINNEAPOLIS - The Minnesota Vikings said Tuesday that defensive coordinator George Edwards was "significantly disciplined" by the team after being charged with fourth-degree DWI in May.

Edwards, who was pulled over on May 21 in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and charged with three misdemeanors - fourth-degree DWI, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and careless driving - pleaded guilty to the third charge on Aug. 30. His blood alcohol content at the time of the citation was .11, over Minnesota's legal limit of .08.

He was placed on probation on Aug. 30, attended a Mothers Against Drunk Driving impact panel and received a chemical dependency evaluation the same day.
