Former NFL star Adrian Peterson was arrested in Sugar Land Sunday morning on charges of DWI and unlawful carrying of a weapon. The 39-year-old was taken into custody around 9:30 a.m., but authorities say details are limited while the case is still under investigation. Jail records show Peterson was booked, though no court documents had been filed by Sunday afternoon.
It’s the latest in a string of legal troubles for the former Vikings running back. He was arrested earlier this year in Minnesota for driving while impaired and made headlines in 2022 for an incident on a plane involving his wife. Peterson, who’s from Palestine, Texas, played in the NFL for 15 seasons, finishing with nearly 15,000 rushing yards and 120 touchdowns.
