Michael Floyd to serve 1 day in jail for failed alcohol test

Minnesota Vikings receiver Michael Floyd has been sentenced to one day in jail for violating the terms of his house arrest after a failed alcohol test, ESPN's Josh Weinfuss reports. The decision comes from a judge in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Floyd was arrested for DUI in December while a member of the Arizona Cardinals and was subsequently released. This offseason, he was signed to a one-year deal by the Vikings, but while still under house monitoring, Floyd failed an alcohol test on June 11. He claimed the violation was due to the consumption of kombucha tea, a beverage that can include alcohol content.

In addition to serving a day in jail, Floyd also has to conclude the final five days of his house arrest, and can do so in Arizona.

He began serving his jail time on Monday, Weinfuss reports, and will return to house arrest Wednesday.

The Vikings released a statement Monday evening reaffirming their support for Floyd.

"When we signed Michael Floyd, we hoped he would show signs of improvement and we continue to expect that he shows progress and a professional attitude," general manager Rick Spielman said in the statement. "We believe Michael will be a productive member of the Vikings organization, both on and off the field.

"Pursuant to the ruling of the Arizona Court earlier today, Michael will serve the remainder of his sentence and we expect him to be with the team at the start of training camp in Mankato when the players report on July 26."
