Former Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was arrested early Friday morning and charged with driving while intoxicated, according to jail records from the Hennepin County (Minn.) Sheriff’s Office.
Peterson entered detainment at 5:16 a.m. local time, hours after he attended the Vikings draft party as a featured guest. During the event, he joined the KFAN 1003 broadcast.

According to Patrol Lt. Mike Lee, Peterson was pulled over in an Audi Q5 for driving 83 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone at 3:20 a.m. in Richfield, located about seven miles from U.S. Bank Stadium. Peterson’s blood alcohol content was measured at 0.14 percent, nearly twice the legal limit in Minnesota.
Peterson was released at 7:31 a.m. after posting a $4,000 bond.
The 40-year-old spent 10 seasons of his 15-year career with the Vikings, totaling 11,747 yards and 97 touchdowns with the franchise. He also spent time with New Orleans, Arizona, Washington, Detroit and Tennessee before concluding his career by appearing in one game for the Seattle Seahawks in 2021.
Peterson previously faced legal trouble in 2014 when he was accused of using a switch to discipline his then 4-year-old son and eventually agreed to a plea deal that included a misdemeanor charge of reckless assault. The NFL suspended Peterson for all but one game in the 2014 season. In 2023, he was arrested at the Los Angeles International Airport on a charge of felony domestic violence following an incident with his wife on a plane. Charges stemming from the incident were later dropped.

NFL Draft 2025: How Cowboys’ first-round pick Tyler Booker reminds Jerry Jones of Michael Irvin
Getty Images FRISCO, Texas -- Alabama Crimson Tide All-American offensive guard Tyler Booker, the 12th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft by the Dallas Cowboys, hasn't been a Cowboy for even a week. However, he already has both All-Pro edge Micah Parsons and Dallas owner and general manager Jerry Jones ready to run through a brick wall after each have heard him speak. Parsons interviewed Booker on Bleacher Report's NFL Draft live reaction show shortly after the latter was selected by Dallas. After he heard Booker talking about making his opponents lose their love of football while going against him, he got Parsons screaming, "God damn, you just got me hype! Let's go! Hey man, welcome to the team!"Jones had an equivalent reaction -- as much as an 82-year-old can have to Parsons' fiery reaction -- while sitting next to […]

„Chceme Connora!“ skandovali fanoušci St. Louis posměšně, když byl v odvetách v aréně Blues Hellebuyck hned dvakrát střídán. Po dvou domácích výhrách inkasoval 31letý Američan na cizím ledě celkem jedenáct gólů a série, do níž vítězové Presidents‘ Trophy vstupovali jako favorit, je rázem srovnaná na 2:2.Gólman, jenž měl v základní části průměr 2,00 gólu na zápas a úspěšnost zákroků 92,5 procenta, se v play off sklouznul do suterénu - 4,24 gólu a 81,7 procenta. Což je bída.Něco podobného se přitom Hellebuyckovi přihodilo i loni, kdy byli Jets v prvním kole play off vyřazeni Coloradem.

Kyle Dubas explains ‘amicable’ Mike Sullivan-Penguins split
CRANBERRY TOWNSHIP, Pa. — Mike Sullivan made no demands. Sidney Crosby had no input.And Kyle Dubas has suspected for a while now that his Pittsburgh Penguins needed a new coach. The past week was about him finding confirmation before bringing a seismic shift to the organization he joined two years ago.Advertisement“There were times throughout the year that I thought it just may be time,” Dubas said of Sullivan on Monday.“It’s a lot to ask of somebody, when they’ve done such a long and successful job here, to be managing that and continue to transition the team, too. Off the top of my head, I don’t know that there’s an NHL coach that’s done that.”Sullivan won’t get the chance with the Penguins.Following a couple of meetings last week — Tuesday in Pittsburgh and Sunday in Boston — Dubas trusted his gut […]
Will Ashton Jeanty, 2025 draft RB class change the complexion of the NFL?
Henry McKenna NFL Reporter <!--> There was no shortage of excitement ahead of the NFL Draft about the running backs. Maybe you noticed the love for the star ball-carriers beyond the obvious ones: Ashton Jeanty and Omarion Hampton. But … maybe you missed it, which would be understandable, given the way the NFL has — or had — treated the position in recent years. Over the past five years, the running-backs-don’t-matter sentiment showed up on draft day and in free agency. It was hard to take RB hype too seriously.But then the Eagles won the Super Bowl on the back of Saquon Barkley and the offensive line. It was a team effort, yes. But Saquon was the centerpiece. I get it: That defense is incredible. And quarterback Jalen Hurts is among my favorite players in the NFL. But Hurts played an […]
