Adrian Peterson Admits To Smoking ‘A Little Weed’

[Jenoch]

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A prosecutor is calling for Adrian Peterson’s arrest, after Peterson admitted to smoking marijuana before his court hearing in Montgomery County, Texas on Wednesday.

According to court documents, the star RB of the Minnesota Vikings was asked to submit a urinalysis at his Oct. 8 court appearance. During the process, he admitted that he “smoked a little weed,” according to the court records.

The district attorney is calling for Peterson’s arrest, saying the fact he smoked marijuana violates his bond conditions.

The DA has asked the judge to set aside Peterson’s $15,000 bond for the charge of injury to a child.

The judge assigned to Peterson’s case is currently in a hearing and has not yet discussed this request.

This guy is obviously a dimwit. More money for his attorney. At least Peterson has the money to pay him.

1. I don't care about the weed but,

I saw his lawyer talking for a bit. His bond should be revoked for the comments he made in Adrian Peterson's behalf. "Adrian Peterson is the same man he was before this incident came to light." I paraphrase. If he is the same person he was before and after he beat his son which could have easily turned fatal, then he should be in jail for at least as long as it takes for him not to be the same man he was before he beat his son.

2. Peterson should have cared about the weed.

That little bit of weed is going to cost him over $1 million.

The lawyer was setting up for an aquittal. Before the weed thing came out I was thinking he would be aquitted.

4. Well that is on him

he should have stuck to drugs that leave the system quickly and efficiently.

5. Or he could have

followed the conditions of his release and not consume illegal drugs.

7. Now that's just crazy talk

his lawyer says he is the same person he has always been. Evidence points to this being true. So, it's unreasonable to expect him to change his behavior. The best we can hope for is that he at least covers his tracks better.

Yeah, I am not serious. I am just very miffed he is being very arrogant and smirky about his criminal acts on his son. He should be in jail for a long time IMO.

3. The arrogance of star professional athletes is beyond belief.

"So I smoked a little pot? Do you know who I am, you POS DA? What are you going to do, arrest me?"

That's how it goes. Apparently that Texas DA wasn't impressed, somehow. Maybe he's not an American football fan or something.

9. star athletes are pampered

they always have rules broken for them because they are stars.

15. I'm sorry in his case? I think it's more stupidity......

Not one of your brighter players, he got a 9 on the wonderlic test....and I know that isn't the end all of intelligence but.....a 9????

13. Being introduced to MMJ after 20+ years . . .

the last thing I would do is get baked before going to court. All the makings of a bad trip . . . and what a waste of a perfectly good high.

14. That's not what he said.

He didn't say he smoked weed just before court. He admitted to the person administering the drug test (the guy watching him pee in the bottle) That he smoked a little weed at some recent, prior occasion.
