NFL star Adrian Peterson shoved an off-duty police officer in a Houston bar early Saturday morning, leading to his arrest, the Houston P.D. says.
An off-duty officer was working security for the nightclub Live! at
Bayou Place when closing time came and he told patrons it was time to
leave.
The officer had to tell Peterson a second time he had to leave and the Vikings running back shot back, "Hey man, we heard you the first time!"
He then pushed the officer in the back of his shoulder, causing him to stumble.
The officer then told Peterson to turn around and put his arms behind
his back because he was under arrest and Peterson began yelling at him.
The officer repeated himself and Peterson turned around to face the officer and got in "an aggressive stance," ignoring more verbal warnings.
A second and third officer then rushed over, according to the police, and they were finally able to arrest the all-star athlete and take him to jail.
He was booked on the charge of resisting arrest.
Adrian Peterson was heavily intoxicated at the time of his arrest, which was very out of character for him, according to the nightclub owner.
Peterson has been to the club before, but he has never known him to drink much. He was reportedly a difficult customer all night Friday, though.
