Son of NFL Coach Charged with 2nd DWI

Just as the race to the Super Bowl is about to begin, Minnesota Vikings head coach Brad Childress now has other issues to deal with.

Childress' son, 24-year-old Aaron Kyle Childress, was arrested and charged with 2nd degree DWI last week.

Childress was booked at the Ramsey County Jail in St. Paul, Minnesota, but was later released on bond.  A court date has been set for March 2.

This is not the first time Childress has been arrested for drunk driving.  Last year he pleaded guilty to misdemeanor DWI charges.

Because he already has a prior DWI on his record, Childress is now facing second-degree DWI charges, which is considered a gross misdemeanor.  If convicted, Childress could be sentenced to one year in jail and a $3,000 fine.

Brad Childress has not yet made or released any statements regarding his son's case.

When faced with a second DWI, it is imperative that you take your situation seriously and contact an experienced drunk driving defense attorney as soon as possible.  If you have been arrested and charged with DWI for the second time, click here to find a DWI lawyer near you!
