MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer is not happy about safety Jayron Kearse’s recent arrest and subsequent charges.
Kearse is accused of drunkenly driving his car onto a closed portion of Interstate 94 in Minneapolis on early Sunday. After being pulled over, a loaded handgun with more than two dozen rounds was found on the floor of his car.
Kearse spoke to reporters at practice Monday and apologized to the team and fans.
“I definitely take this matter seriously, and I’m sorry for putting anybody in harm’s way and I will go through all the necessary steps to improve myself,” he said.
