Minnesota Vikings backup safety Jayron Kearse has been arrested in Minneapolis on suspicion of driving while impaired and with a loaded gun.
The Minnesota State Patrol says a trooper stopped Kearse just before 4 a.m. Sunday after seeing a Mercedes drive around a barricade onto a closed portion of Interstate 94.
The patrol says his blood alcohol level was above the legal limit and he didn’t have a permit for the gun. The Vikings say the team is aware of Kearse’s arrest and gathering more information.
