NY Post
Vikings legend Adrian Peterson was booked into the Hennepin County Jail on a fourth-degree driving while impaired charge before being released early Friday morning in Minnesota, according to TMZ Sports.
Peterson was reportedly pulled over at 3:20 a.m. after going 83 in a 55 mph zone. The 40-year-old former running back was breathalyzed and blew a .14, well above the legal limit of a .08.
Peterson, who was at U.S. Bank Stadium earlier in the evening as a featured guest at the team’s 2025 NFL draft party, was booked at 5:16 a.m. and took a mug shot at the county jail.
Per jail records obtained by Bring Me the News, Peterson’s bail was set at $4,000 and his court date is May 9.
Fourth-degree DWI is a misdemeanor charge in Minnesota and usually applies to first-time offenders.
Peterson, who last played in 2021, has a spotted legal record.

The Knicks won’t be raising a banner to the rafters at Madison Square Garden to commemorate their victory in the 2025 NBA Cup, and you can count your humble narrator among the faction that wishes they’d chosen differently. I’m not quite sure when it became mandatory to rinse as much fun out of sports as possible, but we’re sure trying.
