NFL News: Former NFL star Adrian Peterson facing DWI charges

Added to Favorite


Former NFL running back Adrian Peterson is facing DWI charges in his latest brush with authorities.

The fifth-leading rusher in league history was arrested on a misdemeanor count of driving while impaired on Friday morning in Hennepin County, Minn.

Peterson, 40, attended the Vikings’ draft party on Thursday night at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.

The Minnesota State Patrol said Peterson was pulled over at 3:20 a.m. on Friday morning after allegedly driving 83 mph in a 55-mph zone. He failed a breath test, according to law enforcement.

He was taken into custody and released on a $4,000 bond about two hours later, according to official records. His next court date is May 9 in Minneapolis.

Peterson’s previous legal issues include allegations of child abuse and domestic violence as well as financial improprieties.

Peterson starred for the Vikings from 2007-16, earning seven Pro Bowl selections and four first-team All-Pro nods in that span. He was named NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year after rushing for 2,097 yards in 2012.

Peterson retired after the 2021 campaign with 14,918 rushing yards and 120 touchdowns in 184 games with seven teams. He will become eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2027.
