Adrian Peterson was found asleep at the wheel before being arrested on suspicion of driving while intoxicated Sunday, according to court documents released Tuesday.
Peterson was released on bail from the Fort Bend County jail in Texas on Tuesday. His bond totaled $3,000 for both the DWI charge and the unlawful carrying of a weapon charge.
Sugar Land police officers reported waking up Peterson after responding to a call at a Shell gas station in the Houston suburb around 9 a.m. Sunday. They stated that they woke up Peterson, got him out of his vehicle and offered medical assistance, which was declined. Peterson allegedly said he didn't know where he was.
The officers allege Peterson had glossy, red eyes, slurred speech and smelled of alcohol.
Per the court report, Peterson told officers he was trying to drive home from a poker game after only having a few drinks. Officers then said they performed a sobriety test before arresting him on suspicion of DWI.
Afterward, officers reported finding a gun in Peterson's glove box.
Peterson has now been arrested twice within the past seven months on a similar allegation. He was arrested on suspicion of drunk driving in Minneapolis in April.
The 2012 MVP last played in the NFL in 2021. Peterson finished with 14,918 career rushing yards and 120 touchdowns on the ground across 15 seasons, the first 10 with the Minnesota Vikings.
