Prosecutors Seek Adrian Peterson’s Arrest After Pot Admission

The situation for Minnesota Viking’s running back Adrian Peterson just got worse. After Peterson admitted to smoking weed before taking a urinalysis test Wednesday, Montgomery County prosecutors have filed paperwork for the running back’s bail to be revoked and for him to be re-arrested.

ESPN reports:

According to the filing signed by Bill Delmore, the Assistant District Attorney for the state of Texas, Peterson admitted to the worker that he had "smoked a little weed" before the test. Not taking any illegal drugs are common terms to adhere to when out on bond.

"In light of this statement, and the fact that it was made during the urinalysis testing process, and the term 'weed' is a common slang term for marijuana, the state argues that the defendant has smoked marijuana while on bond,'' the district attorney's office wrote.

Peterson has been charged with felony child abuse but is currently free on $15,000 bond. The trial has been tentatively scheduled for Dec. 1.
