Former NFL star running back Adrian Peterson was arrested in Sugar Land, Texas, on Sunday morning after allegedly driving while intoxicated.
According to TMZ, the Minnesota Vikings legend was arrested at around 10 a.m. local time and charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) and the unlawful carrying of a weapon. Further details aren’t clear at this time, and Peterson has yet to comment.
This news is especially concerning because Adrian Peterson was arrested by a state trooper in Minnesota six months ago for driving while intoxicated. At the time, TMZ reported that Peterson was driving 83 in a 55 MPH zone and blew a .14 after being tested by the officer.
In Feb. 2022, Peterson was also arrested after an incident with his wife, Ashley, at the Los Angeles International Airport. Ashley addressed the matter and said it was a “verbal” argument and claimed Peterson did not hit her.
Peterson played in the NFL from 2007 to 2018, including 10 seasons with the Vikings. The 2012 NFL MVP retired with 14,918 rushing yards and 120 touchdowns in 184 NFL games.
Former Atlanta Falcons star running back Jamal Anderson, who played a pivotal role in the team’s first Super Bowl run in 1998, was arrested in Los Angeles on Wednesday.
Speaking to Dennis Broad and Jonathan Lloyd of NBC4 Investigates, the Los Angeles Police Department announced that Jamal Anderson was arrested at a home in the San Fernando Valley “on suspicion of felony domestic violence.”
Per NBC4 Investigates, officers arrested Anderson after responding to an argument at around 11:00 a.m. local time. Anderson allegedly strangled the victim after “a verbal argument that escalated into a physical altercation.”
The victim declined treatment after paramedics arrived on the scene, per the report, and Anderson was released after posting a $50,000 bond.
Sadly, Jamal Anderson has had multiple run-ins with the law since retiring from football. He was arrested for possessing cocaine and driving under the influence in 2009 and 2012, respectively.
In December 2016, Anderson made headlines when he was banned from a QuikTrip store in Gwinnett County, Georgia, after allegedly exposing himself and appearing drunk. Though he wasn’t arrested over the incident, Anderson was warned that he would be if he returned to the specific store location.
Anderson was also arrested in December 2018 for refusing to pay a limo driver $50, though the latter declined to press charges.
Jamal Anderson Is Fifth On Falcons’ All-Time Rushing Leaderboard

Jamal Anderson became one of the NFL’s most popular running backs in the ’90s, thanks largely to his signature “Dirty Birds” touchdown celebration dance.
Anderson earned Pro Bowl and First-team All-Pro honors in 1998 after rushing for 1,846 yards and 14 touchdowns, both career bests. The Falcons stunned the 15-1 Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game to reach their first Super Bowl, where they were dispatched by the Denver Broncos.
Jamal Anderson retired after the 2021 season and sits fifth all-time on the Falcons’ career rushing leaderboard with 5,336. Ahead of him are Gerald Riggs (6,631), Michael Turner (6,081), William Andrews (5,986) and Warrick Dunn (5,981).

Tennessee Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is in some serious trouble with the law.
Sneed was indicted Tuesday by a grand jury on a misdemeanor charge for his alleged failure to report a felony. A Dallas County, Texas, grand jury indicted the two-time Super Bowl champion for his failure to report an incident that took place in December 2024.
It was earlier this year when we found out that Sneed was facing a $1 million lawsuit from a Texas man, Christian Nshimiyimana. His current situation has to do with him.
The 28-year-old cornerback is facing accusations of observing a felony and knowingly failing to immediately report the felony to law enforcement.
The indictment filing that was obtained by The Tennessean for “The State of Texas vs. L’Jarius Sneed,” reads as follows: “Sneed… after having observed the commission of felony under circumstances in which reasonable person would have believed that an offense had been committed in which serious bodily injury or death may have resulted, namely AGGRAVATED ASSAULT, intentionally and knowingly fail to immediately report the commission of the offense to peace officer or law enforcement agency, and reasonable person would have believed that the commission of the offense had not been reported, and the person could have immediately reported the commission of the offense without placing himself in danger of suffering serious bodily injury or death.”

Christian Nshimiyimana is suing Sneed while claiming that the two-time Super Bowl champion, “or his personal assistant, shot at him while he was sitting inside a Mercedes-Benz.”
The alleged victim stated he was inside a car dealership in December 2024 when shots were fired in their direction. Although nobody was struck by bullets, Sneed and his personal assistant were arrested by Carrollton police officers for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Nshimiyimana is suing Sneed for $1 million. His lawsuit was filed in February in Dallas County, Texas.
Nshimiyimana is accusing L’Jarius Sneed and his accomplice of “an unprovoked attack in cold blood and broad daylight,” according to ESPN. The lawsuit also states that Nshimiyimana may have been mistaken for another person in the unprovoked attack.
As for Sneed’s professional career, the Titans traded for him from the Chiefs prior to the 2024 season and promptly inked him to a four-year, $76 million contract.
Sneed was limited to five games last season with a quad injury and has played seven games this season. He is currently on injured reserve for another quad injury.

The NFL had to make some tough decisions regarding Houston Texans minority owner Javier Loya. The League banned him and also imposed a $500,000 fine after finding he violated the league’s personal conduct policy. The decision comes two years after prosecutors accused Loya of rape and sexual assault in Kentucky.
The league announced the punishment despite the criminal case ending without a conviction. The NFL policy allows discipline based on its own findings, not court outcomes. NBC Sports first reported the ban and fine.
Loya, a longtime Texans stakeholder, has stayed away from team and league activities since authorities filed charges in 2023. The Texans said he has played no role with the club since that time.

Prosecutors in Kentucky charged Javier Loya in 2023 with rape and multiple sexual abuse counts. In 2024, he entered an Alford plea, which means he maintained his innocence while accepting a lesser misdemeanor charge of harassment. After that, prosecutors dropped the rape and sexual abuse charges.
Even so, the NFL completed its own investigation and decided to punish Loya under its personal conduct policy. The league does not need a criminal conviction to take action.
Loya responded in a statement to the Houston Chronicle. “I respectfully disagree with the NFL’s decision,” Loya said. He said he “cooperated fully with the league from the moment this matter arose.”
He pointed to the outcome of the legal case. “All charges against me were dismissed over a year ago, and I have remained transparent, respectful, and forthcoming throughout the process,” Loya said. He also noted that he stepped away from team and league activities for more than two and a half years.
The NFL will allow Loya to apply for reinstatement in June 2026. Until then, he remains banned.
The Texans supported the NFL’s decision and made their view clear. “This behavior has no place in our organization or our community,” the team said in a statement to the Chronicle. The team confirmed that Loya remains banned from all team and league activities. Just months earlier, Robert Cary McNair Jr., the brother of owner Cal McNair, filed a $100 million lawsuit against the NFL.
Loya co-founded OTC Global Holdings and has owned a small Texans stake since 2002. His share is less than one percent. He is married to Lucinda Vincent-Loya, a Houston-based interior designer, and they have two daughters.
