Vikings WR Michael Floyd Tested Positive For Alcohol While Under House Arrest, Could Face Jail Time

TMZ Sports is reporting that Vikings WR Michael Floyd tested positive for alcohol during his house arrest this week and it’s possible that he could receive jail time for the violation.

A representative from Scottsdale City Court confirmed that Floyd’s alcohol monitoring system flagged 5 events during June 11th and 12th with at least three of them being described to us as “high alcohol tests.

As part of his house arrest, Floyd is not supposed to consume a single drop of alcohol. He was able to get permission from the court to remove his alcohol-monitoring ankle bracelet so that it wouldn’t impact him playing football, but he had to agree to undergo random breath tests.
