Arrest Warrant for Adrian Peterson
AP still having issues. Great player...sh!t person...
Former NFL MVP running back Adrian Peterson is facing legal trouble again in Texas, this time after two warrants were issued for his arrest related to his failure to appear in court for two different child support cases.
The former Minnesota Vikings star made more than $100 million in his NFL career from 2007 to 2021 and is considered a future Pro Football Hall of Famer. But warrants were issued this week in Fort Bend County, Texas, outside of Houston, where Peterson also has been facing property seizures to help pay off more than $12 million debt.
“The current legal case is related to a misunderstanding regarding Adrian’s court appearances as it relates to child support, and he is actively working with his legal team to resolve this matter as quickly as possible,” his publicist Denise White said in a statement. “He is committed to clearing up this situation and moving forward positively.”
In an unrelated case, he pleaded no contest in October to misdemeanor assault after being accused in the same county of slapping a woman from behind in May. He was sentenced to pay a $500 fine with no jail time in that case, according to court records.
Adrian Peterson’s NFL benefits come into play
In the separate child support cases, the county issued capias warrants against him this week. Those are different from traditional arrest warrants that require a determination that there was enough evidence to believe he committed a crime. In this case, the capias warrants relate to his failure to appear in court on these matters earlier this month.
“TO ANY PEACE OFFICER OF THE STATE OF TEXAS---GREETING,” one of the warrants states. “YOU ARE HEREBY COMMANDED TO ARREST: ADRIAN LEWIS PETERSON, to be found in your county, and ADRIAN LEWIS PETERSON safely keep, so that you have ADRIAN LEWIS PETERSON before the Honorable 328th Judicial District Court of Fort Bend County, Texas, at the Court House of said County… and there to answer for their failure to appear for CIVIL NON-SUPPORT on December 05, 2024 before the 328TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT, as ordered.”
The two child-support cases list women from Minnesota as the custodial parents. In one of the cases, a judge signed a qualified domestic relations order Monday that establishes the right of the child to receive a portion of Peterson’s NFL benefits for child support. The warrants were issued with separate cash bonds of $9,500 and $7,500.

This is just the way it's going to be with this guy, probably forever.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Train wreck of a human. Very sad.
I will also say in hindsight that Zimmer was a jerk...in that last game in his biggest season, he was something like 9 yards short of the all time record and he pulled Peterson out, instead of helping him to the record as a Viking. Zimmer's comment: "I don't care about records". What an A-hole.
Truth be known.....I'm one of his kids
Remember the dust up on the boards back in the day when it came out about him running all over knocking up women, some were making excuses for him like who cares, he can afford it, thats what young rich athletes do and such stuff... well, apparently they become old broke athletes and there's a pretty good chance that some those kids are on the federal dime now. What a sad pathetic story of a wasted opportunity.

It’d be interesting to know how much money he’s got left in the bank and how much he’s got in sellable assets.
I’d guess his child care situation is probably pretty messed up, where it is all calculated as if he still is making millions a year.

No wonder he is broke!
Does anyone know? Does he buy his camels or lease?

he has a reported net worth of 1 million as of September, I would say with this latest mess, he is flat ass broke and likely so far in debt a bankruptcy announcement cant be far behind.

I don’t think anyone really knows how much he has in assets vs debt, and that $1M value is a pure guess. It’s probably pretty safe to say he doesn’t have much for liquid cash, given that he’s got so many lawsuits where he hasn’t been paying his obligations, whether it’s to lenders or child support.
I wouldn't be surprised if he goes bankrupt, because he's dumb, and it can't be good to have that many lenders coming after you.

with as much court and kid shit he has been through, I wouldnt be surprised to learn that his assets have been audited and had values assigned.

Adrian Peterson earned more than $100 million during his 15-year NFL career from 2007 to 2021:
Peterson is estimated to be in debt of more than $12 million.
The debt stems from a $5.2 million loan he took out in 2016 to pay back other lenders. In 2021, a New York court awarded the lender nearly $9 million, plus interest.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Anyone want to start the pool on how long it takes him to get arrested for petty crimes/frauds?
I'm guessing...by mid '26.
KOC, JJM, Flores...make a good plan, or you'll be following Kwesi....
Good news is he’ll sign autographs till he’s 90 for $20 a pop anytime there’s Vikings fans with cash.
If the mothers and children were interviewed, I'd bet they are all struggling.
AD's legacy off the field is bad, As in train wreck bad.
Hard to twist the truth, gas light the obvious or find excuses... This all leads back to AD and his choices.
