MINNEAPOLIS — Former Viking great Adrian Peterson faces yet another legal hurdle after being arrested early Friday morning for allegedly driving while intoxicated. 

Hennepin County records confirm that the 40-year-old Peterson was arrested for fourth-degree DWI and booked into jail at 5:15 a.m. He was released just over two hours later at 7:30 a.m. Booking records show Peterson was arrested by the Minnesota State Patrol. 

Peterson is free on $4,000 bond. His next court appearance is set for May 9.

This arrest is just the latest in a string of legal woes for the former MVP. Peterson was charged with felony child abuse for using a switch to discipline his children in 2014, and most recently, he has gone to court on a number of issues, including accusations of failing to pay child support and refusing to turn over assets to pay off a debt reported at $12 million. 

Peterson was drafted by the Vikings out of Oklahoma in 2007 and played 10 years in Minnesota. After being released for salary cap issues, he bounced around the NFL for a handful of years, carrying the ball for New Orleans, Arizona, Washington, Detroit, Tennessee and Seattle.
