Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson may have more legal troubles on the way, as Texas prosecutors have submitted paperwork to have him arrested for smoking pot.
Peterson was indicted last month on child abuse charges, and this week he reportedly violated the terms of his bond, according to a local Fox affiliate.
Court records show while giving his urine sample Wednesday Peterson admitted to a staffer he had 'smoked a little weed' before the test. As a result of that, the Montgomery County District Attorney has asked the judge in this case to set aside Peterson's $15,000 bond and have him arrested again. [Fox 26]
The Vikings indefinitely suspended Peterson pending his court case.
