Suspended WR Jerome Simpson mentioned on multiple charges

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jerome Simpson is facing charges of driving on a restricted driver’s license, possession of cannabis in a car and open bottle in a car from an event that happened July 7, per an incident report obtained by NFL Media.

Simpson was mentioned at 12:44 a.m. CT on the night of the event by the Bloomington (Minn.) Police Department, but no arrest was made. He’ll appear in court on Nov. 3.

This has become the 3rd episode Simpson has faced since 2012. In March of this year, Simpson pleaded guilty to a felony charge resulting from 2 pounds of pot being sent to his house in Kentucky in September 2011.

Simpson is now finishing up a three-match suspension caused by a DWI last November. He’s expected to go back to the Vikings after Sunday’s match against the New Orleans Saints.
