Former NFL star Adrian Peterson, 40, was arrested Sunday morning in Sugar Land, Texas, on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawful carrying of a weapon. This incident marks his second DWI arrest within this year, with a previous charge in April in Minnesota after being pulled over for speeding. Peterson, a former Minnesota Vikings running back, played 15 seasons in the NFL, achieving league MVP honors in 2012 and becoming one of only nine running backs to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. His past legal troubles also include a 2014 NFL suspension for felony child abuse allegations, to which he pleaded no contest to misdemeanor reckless assault.
