Vikings cornerback Ronyell Whitaker was arrested in downtown Minneapolis early this morning on an outstanding misdemeanor warrant for drunk driving and careless driving.
According to Minneapolis police spokeswoman Lt. Amelia Huffman, Minneapolis police observed Whitaker's vehicle parked illegally at 2:40 this morning at 400 3rd Ave. North. When the police ran Whitaker's license through the system the warrant for his arrest came up. Whitaker was released from police custody at 5:28 a.m. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 2.
It is unclear when or where Whitaker was cited for drunk driving and careless driving, according to Hennepin County officials.
Whitaker is the second Vikings defensive back to be arrested in the past five days. Cornerback Cedric Griffin was arrested early Sunday morning after an altercation at the Spin nightclub in downtown Minneapolis. Griffin was charged with misdemeanor disorderly conduct after fighting with staff members from the Spin, located at 10 S. 5th St. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 20.
