Vikings legend Adrian Peterson was arrested early Friday morning for allegedly driving under the influence.

The 2012 MVP had been in Minnesota for his former team’s NFL Draft party the night prior.

However, records from Hennepin County Jail show he was booked at 5:16am Friday morning on a misdemeanor fourth-degree DWI charge.

According to TMZ, Peterson was pulled over at 3:20am, with a state trooper alleging that Peterson was travelling nearly 30 mph over the speed limit.

Peterson reportedly blew a blood alcohol content of .14 when he was breathalyzed.  

Jail records show that he was released at 7:31 and that he posted a $4,000 bail.

Peterson, best known for his stint with the Vikings, has had his share of legal issues

He is set to appear in court on May 9.

He made history in 2012 as he rushed for 2,097 yards – the second-highest mark of all-time in a single season.

Peterson would later suit up for the likes of the Saints, Cardinals, Commanders, Lions, тιтans and Seahawks, and last played in the 2021 season.

He has faced numerous off-field legal troubles both during and after his career.

In 2014, Peterson was charged with felony child abuse for hitting his four-year-old son with a switch.

He ultimately did not serve jail time and pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless ᴀssault.

Peterson was also arrested in 2022 due to an alleged domestic violence incident with his wife. The charges were dropped after his wife, Ashley, said she and Adrian had only been verbally arguing and that she wasn’t hit. 

Last year, he was ordered by a judge to pay about $12.5million in loan debt.

And last year, it emerged that there were two warrants out for his arrest in Texas after he failed to appear in court for two child support cases.

 Peterson earned over $100million in a 14-year NFL.
