Former Minnesota Viking Adrian Peterson, in Minneapolis for the team’s draft party, was arrested on suspicion of drunken driving after he was stopped on a Twin Cities road early Friday.

The 40-year-old former star running back was spotted about 3:20 a.m. by a State Patrol trooper in Richfield driving 83 miles per hour in a 55 mph zone in an Audi Q5 while heading south on Hwy. 77 near E. 66th Street, said Patrol Lt. Mike Lee.

The patrol pulled him over and administered a preliminary breath test that measured his blood alcohol content at 0.14%, nearly twice the legal limit in Minnesota, Lee said.

Peterson, a native of Palestine, Texas, who now lives in suburban Houston, was booked about 5:15 a.m. on a misdemeanor count of fourth-degree driving while impaired. He posted a $4,000 bond a little more than two hours later and was released.

Lee said Peterson cooperated with law enforcement during the course of his arrest.

An arraignment has been scheduled for May 9 in Hennepin County District Court. The Minnesota Star Tribune has left messages with Peterson seeking his response to the allegations. Court records do not list an attorney for him.

Peterson’s arrest is the latest of numerous run-ins with law enforcement over the years that have varied in seriousness from allegations of assaulting his son to failing to wear his seat belt.

Peterson attended the Vikings draft party Thursday night at U.S. Bank Stadium in downtown Minneapolis, where he was interviewed on KFAN Radio, the team’s flagship station.
