Vikings CB Jabari Price Arrested For Misdemeanor DWI

It had been quiet for way too long on the Vikings legal front. It was only a matter of time before one of Minnesota’s players got arrested and added to the insane total of Vikings arrests. This time, it was cornerback Jabari Price that was arrested on December 29th.

Price wasn’t a major part of the Vikings defense this year. He added only 9 solo tackles and 1 assist on the season, but he flashed a couple times during the preseason after being a seventh round selection in the 2014 NFL Draft.

The news was broken today by ESPN’s Ben Goessling on his twitter account. Here’s the tweet:

According to the Hennepin County Sheriff’s Department, Jabari Price has been charged with driving while impaired in the fourth degree. That means there were no aggravating factors during the arrest.

Jabari Price has a court date set for February 9th at 8:30 am central time. In the meantime, it has to be believed that this arrest could put Price’s spot on the roster in jeopardy because of how much the Minnesota Vikings have had to deal with legal issues recently, particularly the Adrian Peterson situation.
