"That doesn't make any sense..."
Hope it is not something of an unseemly nature. Always had the impression he was a good guy and good example for the kids. Hopefully it was a stack of unpaid parking tickets.
"That doesn't make any sense..."
Yet another reason why I’m not keeping him on my fantasy football keeper team.
Probably tried to run from a drunk in public situation.
TMZ reporting he shoved an off-duty police officer. Obviously a Napolean Bonaparte.

If Obama had a running back...
Uh.....”remains in jail on a 1000 dollar bond”?????? really? REALLY???? 1000 dollars? He doesn’t have 100 bux? That’s....curious. :-/
Nothing good happens at 2:30AM out in the streets.
“the Vikings “are aware of the situation and are gathering more information.”
And gathering more bail money too.
Shoved an off duty cop working at bar the second time he told AP it was closing time & he had to leave. Squared off against the other off duty officers who came to their buddy’s aid. Stupid move on AP’s part. Just get up, leave quietly, and head for the Waffle House. AP rehab’ing from knee surgery. Any chance he is full of ‘roids to speed the recovery? Remember this is the overpaid knothead who says playing in the NFL is akin to slavery. Moron.
According to Jerome Solomon, the Houston Chronicle columnist who broke the story, Peterson was out with his girlfriend and family at the nightclub, when police arrived, telling everyone to get out.Solomon says white people probably haven't heard of being arrested for resisting arrest, implying that minorities are familiar with the concept.Peterson wanted to get a drink of water first, according to Solomon, and an officer told him to leave. Peterson tried to leave and was walking out with a bouncer, when the officer allegedly jumped him from behind. Others officers joined in the effort.
“Either came from out of the blue, as if Adrian was trying to get away from something, or in the back and forth of the wording, the police officer decided, ‘I’m going to arrest the guy because I don’t like what he said,’” Solomon said.
Sources close to WCCO sports’ Mike Max say that Peterson was not physical, and he is upset with how he was treated by one officer in particular.
Solomon said the officer was probably not on duty, but hired by the club for security. He said that is a common practice there.
He also said there is surveillance tape of the incident. “My guess is that the police are going to say, ‘We told him to stop, and he didn’t, so we took him down,’” he said.
Peterson will remain in Houston for the next couple of days to meet with his lawyers. They are interested in talking to specific witnesses as soon as Sunday.
The bit about AP still being in jail on $1000 bail is still in the article as of this posting.
