Adrian Peterson was arrested on October 26, 2025, in Houston’s suburb, Sugar Land, Texas, at around 9:30 a.m. local time. According to Fort Bend County jail records, the former NFL MVP was taken into custody on two major charges. The first accusation against Adrian is that he was intoxicated (DWI), and the second one is that he was reportedly carrying a weapon unlawfully. Considered as one of the greatest running backs (RBs) in the history of the NFL, it’s shocking for fans to see such a legend in this condition. What’s even more disheartening is that it is the second time this year that Adrian has been arrested for DWI (Driving While Intoxicated).
Former NFL legend, Adrian Peterson arrested in Texas for DWI and unlawful weapon possession, his second such incident in 2025
For the uninitiated, it was back in April 2025, when Adrian Peterson was arrested in Minnesota after he clocked 83 mph in a 55 mph zone. Upon being stopped by the officials, the former NFL superstar registered a blood alcohol content of 0.14, which is way above the legal limit. After five months, here we are, watching Peterson being held by the officials again in a DWI case. Authorities are yet to release the full statement about his arrest and everything related to the severe accusation against him of having a weapon unlawfully.
