Former Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is in trouble with the law - again.
Records show Peterson was arrested in a suburb of Houston, Texas on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon.
Houston television station KHOU reports Peterson was taken into custody yesterday in Sugar Land.
It’s the second DWI arrest in seven months for the 2012 NFL MVP and three-time league rushing champion. He was pulled over for speeding before being arrested for drunk driving in Bloomington, Minnesota in April following a Vikings draft party.
He has not yet been formally charged in Texas on the latest allegations.
The 40-year-old Peterson was a high school football star in East Texas and has lived in the Houston area. He played at Oklahoma before spending the first 10 years of his NFL career with Minnesota, which drafted him No. 7 overall in 2007.
Peterson is one of nine running backs to rush for 2,000 yards in a season. He had 2,097 yards for the Vikings in his MVP season of 2012 and finished with 14,918 yards and 120 touchdowns over 15 seasons. He played for six teams during his final five seasons.
