Former NFL MVP Adrian Peterson is facing arrest warrants in Texas for failing to appear in court for two child support cases. Peterson's publicist stated that the legal issue stems from a misunderstanding and he is working with his legal team to resolve it. This recent legal trouble follows previous financial difficulties and a 2014 indictment for child assault charges.
Adrian Peterson is in legal trouble again. The 2012 NFL MVP has warrants out for his arrest, according to USA Today, for failing to appear in court for two different child support cases. The warrants were issued in Fort Bend County in Texas, USA Today reported. Its sheriff's department did not immediately confirm this information to Fox News Digital.
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 to USA Today. 'He is committed to clearing up this situation and moving forward positively.
In 2022, Peterson was arrested after an incident with his wife on a plane. But his wife said it was only an argument, and charges were dropped. Peterson rushed for 14,918 yards in his career, leading the league in rushing three times. He's one of six running backs to rush for 2,000 yards in a season and was eight yards shy of breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season record in 2012.
He does, though, hold the record with 296 rushing yards in one game, which he accomplished in his rookie season. He ran for 253 of those yards in the second half. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
