Uh-oh... Vikings coach Woods faces drunk driving charges

MINNETONKA, Minn. -- Minnesota Vikings defensive backs coach Joe Woods was charged Tuesday with two counts of drunken driving.

Woods was pulled over by a state trooper shortly after 3 a.m. Saturday while driving south on Highway 169 in Minnetonka, according to the criminal complaint filed by the city attorney's office.

The officer clocked him driving 63 mph in a 55-mph zone and crossing over lane lines without signaling on numerous occasions. Woods was arrested and later registered a .12 blood alcohol concentration on a breath test, .04 above the state's legal limit.

Asked about it at his Monday news conference, coach Brad Childress said he was aware of the situation but wouldn't publicly discuss any possible discipline for Woods.

Only the offensive, defensive and special teams coordinators under Childress are allowed to speak to the media. A Vikings spokesman declined comment Tuesday.
