According to a Miami police arrest report, two off-duty officers working on an unrelated incident outside the E11EVEN Miami nightclub, at 29 NE 11th St., saw the clubā€™s doors swing open and multiple security guards trying to restrain an ā€œaggressiveā€ Udoh.

The report states that the officers identified themselves as Miami police and tried to restrain Udoh themselves, but he continued to resist.

After police took Udoh into custody, a guard told officers that he and his colleagues were trying to kick Udoh out of the club after he wouldnā€™t leave the womenā€™s restroom.

The guard told police that he was talking to a woman waiting in the bathroom line and followed her in.

ā€œAs the line moved forward, (Udoh) attempted to make entry into the femalesā€™ bathroom,ā€ the report states. ā€œ(Security) gave (him) multiple chances to leave the bathroom, which he refused.ā€

That led to security booting Udoh from the club.

Police took Udoh, who has played for the Vikings since 2019, to Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center.
