NFL legend Adrian Peterson can’t seem to stay out of trouble.
The former Minnesota Vikings star was arrested in Texas Sunday morning for driving while intoxicated, a Class B misdemeanor, and also hit with a Class A misdemeanor weapons charge, according to Fort Bend County jail records.

The 40-year-old was taken into custody around 10 a.m. and remained jailed as of Sunday afternoon.
Peterson was also arrested in April after the NFL Draft — just hours after attending the Vikings’ draft-night celebration — when he blew a 0.14 BAC after being pulled over in Richfield, MN. Peterson was reportedly driving 83 miles per hour in a 55 MPH zone.
A surefire Hall of Fame running back, Peterson was named NFL MVP in 2012 after rushing for more than 2,000 yards. He earned seven Pro Bowl selections during his 15-season career and ranks fifth on the league’s all-time rushing yards list.

He has previously been arrested for an altercation with his wife in 2022 and in separate child-support and assault cases.
Earlier this year, Peterson also made headlines after getting into a poker-related fight at a Houston social club. The viral video of the scuffle with Joe « Baby Joe » Castaneda later led to plans for a Celebrity Boxing match between the two.
Another run-in with the law only further clouds the legacy of one of the NFL’s greatest running backs.
