    • A trespassing charge against Jordan Addison in Florida has been dismissed
    • The incident occurred at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa

    Florida State Attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit Susan Lopez is declining to move forward with charges against NFL wide receiver Jordan Addison, who was arrested last week at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Tampa.

    On Tuesday, Lopez notified Addison and his attorneys that the first-degree misdemeanor trespassing charge against him was being withdrawn.

    Having reviewed the charge contained in the Criminal Report Affidavit and/or Notice to Appear, the State Attorney’s Office informs you that the charge contained therein is dismissed and prosecution is terminated as of this date and that the defendant need not appear for any further proceedings in this matter,” Lopez wrote.

    The state prosecutor also ordered that the $500 bond Addison paid be returned.

    As Casino.org reported, Addison, who plays for the Minnesota Vikings, was arrested at the Tampa tribal casino at 3:46 am on Monday, January 12, after he repeatedly refused to comply with orders to vacate the premises. Addison was released hours later after posting the $500 bond.

    Addison Issues Statement 

    Addison’s run-in with law enforcement in Florida wasn’t his first time in handcuffs.

    In July 2023, the now-23-year-old was arrested for reckless driving after being clocked driving at 140 miles per hour. A year later, the former Pitt and USC standout was arrested for DUI.

    Seminole Indian Police and Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office reported in an affidavit that Addison failed to comply with orders to leave the casino’s Jubao Palace Noodle Bar, which stays open until 4 am. Upon being escorted out, police reported that Addison “repeatedly had to be redirected towards the front exit.”

    “The defendant was redirected … multiple times. The defendant was then taken into custody for trespass after warning,” wrote Officer Fluellen in the criminal report affidavit.

    State prosecutors, however, opted not to carry on with the trespassing charge. That was, of course, welcome news to Addison and his attorneys.

    On behalf of his agent and all of his people, we are very happy that we were able to get this thing brought to light quickly and that his name was not dragged through the mud anymore,” said Brian Pakett of West Palm Beach criminal defense group Pakett Law. “Jordan is a great kid, and he did nothing wrong throughout this entire incident. Any suggestions otherwise are frivolous.”

    Addison’s 2024 drunk driving arrest resulted in him serving a three-game suspension to start the 2025 NFL season. He finished the season with 42 catches for 610 yards and three touchdowns. Addison’s numbers were down significantly from 2024, when he caught 70 passes for 911 yards and 10 touchdowns.

    The Vikings finished 9-8 to miss the NFL Playoffs.

    State Prosecutor

    Lopez, a Republican, has served as the state’s attorney for the 13th Judicial Circuit since August 2022. She’s the first female to hold the position.

    Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) appointed Lopez to the role after suspending State Attorney Andrew Warren. Lopez won reelection last November with almost 53% of the Hillsborough County vote.

  • Shelter-in-place issued in Clear Creek County amid search for trespassing suspect

    [ad_1]

    CLEAR CREEK COUNTY, Colo. — A shelter-in-place has been issued in Clear Creek County as law enforcement searches for a suspect believed to be associated with several trespassing incidents.

    In a social media post Thursday evening, the Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office said it has received three reports this week of a suspicious person trespassing on private properties in the area of Highway 103. Surveillance cameras captured the suspect wearing a black mask and carrying a firearm.

    At one property, the man reportedly told the property owner via camera surveillance that he was with the US Forest Service before disconnecting the camera.

    According to the sheriff’s office, the man is accused of trespassing on two properties on Peaceful Valley Lane in Idaho Springs between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Monday. He allegedly stole more than $2,000 worth of items from one of the properties and caused roughly $2,000 worth of damage.

    Between 9:20 a.m. and 10:10 a.m. Thursday, the man reportedly trespassed on a property on Ute Creek Road in Idaho Springs. The sheriff’s office said he was seen loading and cocking a firearm.

    The suspect is associated with a white Ford Escape SUV that does not have license plates.

    Clear Creek County Sheriff’s Office

    In an update, the sheriff’s office said the suspect vehicle was spotted stopped along Highway 103 just after 6 p.m. Law enforcement responded to set up a perimeter, but the suspect drove off.

    After a “short pursuit,” the vehicle crashed near mile marker 3, according to the sheriff’s office. The suspect got out of the vehicle and ran away.

    Deputies are searching the area for the driver. A shelter-in-place order has been issued for a 1-mile radius near the crash.

    The Idaho Springs Police Department, Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office and Golden Police Department are assisting with the search. Law enforcement is also using a drone and K9.

    Though it has not been confirmed, the sheriff’s office said it is “working on the assumption [that] this is the same suspect” from the trespassing incidents and that he may be armed.

    The man is described as a Black man with a slim build and nearly six feet tall. During the incidents, he was wearing tactical colors (green and black) and a tactical belt.

    If you see him, call 911.
