MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Police incident reports released Tuesday give us a clearer picture of what happened with Minnesota Vikings defensive end Everson Griffen over the weekend.
They show he’d been struggling with mental health issues for weeks before an incident involving police on Saturday. That’s when witnesses at the Hotel Ivy in Minneapolis said Griffen was threatening to assault the staff.
A detailed report released Tuesday by the Minnetrista Police Department shows Griffen was showing signs of being paranoid. WCCO’s Angela Davis tells us more.
This is Griffen’s ninth season with the Vikings. He didn’t play in three preseason games due to a leg injury, and now we know he was also struggling with mental health.
