Vikings Great Eller Accused of Assault-A Nassau County Criminal Attorney Can Aid You
Former Minnesota Vikings great Carl Eller was jailed Wednesday after allegedly fighting with police after being stopped for possible drunken driving. Eller was held on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, fleeing police and assaulting a police officer.
Police Inspector Mike Martin said officers in north Minneapolis saw a SUV speed through a stop sign and gave chase. The SUV reached speeds of up to 60 mph through city streets.
Martin said the SUV didn't stop until it pulled into Eller's garage about 1 a.m. Wednesday.
Martin said the officers asked Eller to get out of the vehicle. He refused at first, but when he got out he threatened and fought with officers. They used a Taser, but Martin said it had no effect. Martin said Eller did not request a lawyer when he was questioned and it was unclear if he had hired one.
