Addison was detained in Tampa at 3:46 a.m. ET and was later released on $500 cash bond. 

It's the player's second arrest in the last two years.

Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah and head coach Kevin O'Connell said at their news conference Tuesday that they had only recently heard of Addison's arrest and declined to speculate further.

"We'll have those conversations, obviously. Just a few days after the season and obviously this event just happened. But always supportive of Jordan Addison. We'll continue to fact-find and see what actually happened, and then we'll have those conversations in the future."

Addison's representative said the player's legal team was already investigating the incident.

"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," his agency said. "He looks forward to the legal process and, upon full investigation, we are confident Mr. Addison will be exonerated."
