Conroe, TX (SportsNetwork.com) – Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Texas have filed paperwork to have Adrian Peterson’s bail revoked and re-arrest him after the Minnesota running back admitted to smoking marijuana in violation of his bond conditions.<\/p>\n
The motion stated that Peterson told a staffer that he had “smoked a little weed” before taking a drug test on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
“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 for the current offense,” the motion read.<\/p>\n
Peterson has been free on $15,000 bond following a charge of felony child abuse of one of his sons, with a trial tentatively set to begin on Dec. 1.<\/p>\n
Houston television station Fox 26 stated that there likely won’t be any action taken against Peterson Thursday, as the current judge in the case is scheduled for a recusal hearing on Friday.<\/p>\n
Peterson, the 2012 NFL MVP, remains on the exempt list and away from the Vikings due to his current legal problems. He has not played in any of the team’s past four games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
