Former NFL running back Adrian Peterson faces charges in Texas after police arrested him on Sunday morning in Sugar Land. Authorities booked the 38-year-old athlete at approximately 10 a.m. for driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon. Officers have not disclosed what prompted the traffic stop.
Peterson previously faced similar allegations in April when Minnesota police stopped him for speeding at 3 a.m. after leaving a team draft event. Officers measured his blood alcohol level at 0.14 percent, significantly above the state's 0.08 percent legal threshold. He was traveling 83 mph in a 55 mph zone.
The Palestine native spent 15 seasons in professional football, playing for seven franchises. He earned league MVP recognition in 2012 with Minnesota and accumulated more than 14,000 rushing yards with 126 touchdowns. Peterson has not addressed the recent arrest publicly.
