Former NFL Star Adrian Peterson Arrested Twice for DWI with Weapon in Texas

Adrian Peterson, the former NFL star and 2012 MVP, was arrested in Sugar Land, Texas, for driving while intoxicated (DWI) and unlawful carrying of a weapon after being found asleep at the wheel of his running SUV early Sunday morning. Police reported that Peterson admitted to consuming two to three shots of a vodka mix at a poker game in Houston just hours before the incident, with witnesses describing him as heavily drinking and repeatedly going to his car to get more money for bets. He failed field sobriety tests and showed signs of impairment, including bloodshot eyes and slurred speech, while a handgun was found in the SUV's glove compartment during the arrest. This marks Peterson's second DWI arrest in the past seven months, with a previous incident in April resulting in similar charges. Despite his legendary NFL career with over 14,000 rushing yards and multiple accolades, Peterson's recent legal troubles highlight ongoing accountability issues off the field. As of now, he has been released on bond and awaits further legal proceedings.
