TMZ reports that a Scottsdale City Court confirmed Floyd's alcohol monitoring system reported positive results five times during June 11 and 12, with three of the events described as "high alcohol tests".

"We are aware of the situation involving Michael Floyd and are looking into the matter".

Floyd was not allowed to have any alcohol and was being monitored as part of his house arrest sentencing. He is due back in court on June 26 and could be ordered back to jail if the court rules that he violated his house arrest.

The Vikings released a statement saying, "We are still gathering facts and will withhold any further comment at this time".

Former New England Patriots receiver Michael Floyd has made his way into headlines for the second time since December with an alcohol related issue.

After the arrest, Floyd was released by the Arizona Cardinals. Sunday had marked the 91st of 96 days of house arrest for Floyd, according to the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

Secretary of State Matthew Dunlap says the waiver allows Mainers to continue to use non-compliant ID cards until early October. Oklahoma Public Safety Commissioner Michael Thompson said implementing the changes could take two years or longer.

Floyd caught a pass for nine yards in the Patriots' AFC divisional playoff win over the Houston Texans but was inactive for the AFC Championship Game and Super Bowl LI. While his blood alcohol tests allegedly registered between.044 and.055, he also reportedly skipped a breath test.

Paul native who signed with Minnesota last month is now serving a three-month house arrest sentence after a very bad and very public DWI arrest in Phoenix late previous year.

Floyd, however, adamantly denies any wrongdoing, telling the St. Paul Pioneer Press, "Totally false".

"The whole thing is false", Floyd said". Despite being on house arrest, he was signed by the Vikings in May.

At this point, the judge in Floyd's case could potentially order him back to jail.
