I guess someone was excited Minnesota got their first win on American soil on Thursday! Vikings wide receiver Jerome Simpson was arrested this morning for probably DWI. He is being held without bail at Hennepin County Jail in Minnesota. The team made the following statement regarding his arrest,
“The Vikings are aware of the matter involving Jerome Simpson. We are continuing to gather information and will have further comment at the appropriate time.”
This is not the first time Simpson has been in trouble with the law. He was previously convicted on felony drug charges. He was sentenced to 15 days in jail and three years probation. Simpson had four receptions for 45 yards on Thursday against the Washington Redskins.
