Former NFL running back Adrian Peterson remains jailed on Monday after being arrested a day earlier in a Houston suburb on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon.
The 41-year-old Peterson, who had a stellar career with the Minnesota Vikings, was taken into custody on suspicion of DWI and possession of a firearm without a permit. His attorney, who has not yet commented publicly, is expected to file a bond request in the coming days. The case has sparked discussions about the legal consequences of such offenses for public figures and the role of the justice system in holding high-profile individuals accountable.
