Early Monday, the Pioneer Press mentioned that the Vikings were high on second-year defensive end Everson Griffen to make a play for a starting job next season. Later that day, Griffen did something that might cool off that excitement. He was tased and apprehended by LAPD after assaulting an officer at a traffic stop near USC’s campus.
Vikings DE Everson Griffen Arrested For Assaulting Officer
Police officers were performing a traffic stop at the intersection of 30th and Hoover Streets when they pulled Griffen over. He did not have an I.D. on him and became aggressive when questioned by officers, according to an LAPD spokesperson. Griffen attempted to run away and then assaulted one of the officers who was pursuing him. The officers tased Griffen, then arrested him on a charge of felony battery.
Griffen played for USC and left after his junior season to enter the NFL Draft.
