Jordan Addison is in the news over noodles and it’s funny!
Move over, late-night news about wild parties and crazy brawls, Jordan Addison just gave us a new headline to talk about. And yes, it involves noodles.
The Vikings wide receiver was reportedly arrested for not leaving a noodle bar. You read that right. Not fighting, not reckless driving and not even a wild nightclub incident. Just refusing to exit a noodle bar. Truly, the peak of celebrity mischief.
Addison, 23, was taken into custody around 3:45 a.m. Monday, Jan. 12 in Tampa and later released after posting $500 cash bond, according to Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office arrest records reviewed by PEOPLE. The location where he was arrested is the same as the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa.
He was booked on a misdemeanor charge of trespassing in an occupied structure or conveyance, per the records.
This is what Vikings coach Kevin O’Connell had to say about the arrest.

“I don’t wanna speculate on that in any way, shape or form,” he said, CBS Sports reported. “I do think we’ve gotta get as many facts and find out exactly what happened. Speculating at this point would be incredibly premature for me.”
Addison’s reps also tweeted about the situation.
“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,” Younger & Associates wrote. “He looks forward to the legal process and upon full investigation, we are confident Mr. Addison will be exonerated.”
So next time you’re at a noodle bar, remember: slurp responsibly. And maybe don’t channel your inner Jordan Addison, otherwise, you too could become the star of a news headline, and the world might just laugh at you.
And if there’s one thing this teaches us, it’s that fame doesn’t exempt anyone from the humble power of restaurant rules.
