MINNEAPOLIS -- The Minnesota Vikings said Tuesday that defensive coordinator George Edwards was "significantly disciplined" by the team after being charged with fourth-degree DWI in May.

Edwards, who was pulled over on May 21 in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and charged with three misdemeanors -- fourth-degree DWI, operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol and careless driving -- pleaded guilty to the third charge on Aug. 30. His blood-alcohol content at the time of the citation was 0.11, over Minnesota's legal limit of 0.08.

Edwards was placed on one year of probation beginning Aug. 30 and fined $1,000, attended a Mothers Against Drunk Driving impact panel and received a chemical dependency evaluation the same day. NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy said Edwards would not be disciplined by the league, saying, "The team made us aware of the incident and the discipline it imposed as a result."

The Vikings said in a statement that Edwards -- who joined the team in 2014 after Mike Zimmer was hired as head coach -- notified the team immediately after the incident.

"He was significantly disciplined by the Vikings," the team said in a statement. "George has fulfilled both his legal obligations as well as the additional team-imposed discipline."

The St. Paul Pioneer Press first reported the incident, the same day the Vikings released practice squad guard Isame Faciane after his misdemeanor DWI during the team's bye week last week. Faciane's incident, Zimmer said on Monday, was "one of the things that I'm trying to get rid of around here."
