GRIFFIN GETS BUSTED
A couple of readers tell us that KFAN radio in Minnesota is reporting that Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin has been arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
The incident supposedly occurred outside the Spin nightclub in Downtown Minneapolis.
Though we have not yet been able to confirm the report via listening to the KFAN live stream, we found via the Hennepin County Sheriff's jail roster that a Cedric Leonard Griffin, born on November 11, 1982, was arrested for disorderly conduct on April 15. He was booked on one misdemeanor count and posted bail in the amount of $50. He has an April 20 court appearance.
Griffin is the first player to be arrested since the league unveiled a new Personal Conduct Policy on April 10.
More importantly, the incident will prevent the "days without an arrest" counter from hitting double digits. Since launching the ticker last most, it has yet to hit 10. Also, the Vikings get three points on Turd Watch.
And the incident has spawned a new PFT nickname. From this point forward, Griffin will be known as "Cedric the Misdemeanor."
