Vikings CB Griffin apologized for DUI charge

The Minnesota Vikings cornerback Cedric Griffin pleaded guilty Wednesday to a fourth-degree DUI charge in Hennepin County Court. He was arrested Aug. 30 in Eden Prairie, one day before the Vikings played a preseason game against the Texans at Houston.

Griffin paid $300 fine and received two days of community service for the charge. Returning to the Vikings’ locker room Thursday, Griffin said he apologized earlier to his teammates.

“I’m sorry about what happened,” Griffin said. “I’m just trying to help my team win and continue to move forward from that incident.”

Coach Brad Childress confirmed that the situation has been handled “through the right channels, meaning that the fourth-year cornerback will be back to track and continue to do his job as a full-time starter for the third season.
