Ex-NFL star Adrian Peterson stares down the lens in new mugshot from his latest DWI arrest

The mugshot of Minnesota Vikings legend Adrian Peterson has been released following his arrest for driving while under the influence on Sunday.

The 2012 MVP, 40, was detained in Sugar Land, Texas around 10am local time and later booked on two charges of DWI and one charge of unlawful carrying of a weapon, according to TMZ.

Peterson hails from Palestine, Texas, which is a small town located around three hours north of Sugar Land. However, it is currently unclear why the former NFL player was in the area.

Now, Peterson's mugshot has been released by the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office.

It showed the former Vikings running back staring down the lens with a blank expression, while wearing a black top.

It marks the legendary running back's second arrest for DWI this year alone after he was previously stopped in April after attending the Vikings' Draft party.

Peterson was pulled over at 3:20am following the first-round of the draft, which took place on April 24, with a state trooper alleging that Peterson was travelling nearly 30 mph over the speed limit.

Peterson reportedly blew a blood alcohol content of .14 when he was breathalyzed.

Just two months later in June, footage emerged capturing Peterson getting into a fist fight during a poker game in Houston, Texas.

The video, obtained by TMZ, showed the 40-year-old Peterson squaring up with a fellow poker player over a hand at the JokerStars social club back on May 27.

Peterson told TMZ that he and a friend were involved in a disagreement while at a table.

Eventually, 'one thing led to another' and the pair raised their fists at each other.

The video shows Peterson and his buddy throwing punches for several seconds, despite one person trying to separate them.

The former running back ate a number of punches to the face at the beginning of the scrap, but he eventually got back at his counterpart with some haymakers.

TMZ says that bloody wounds were visible on the faces of both people involved. However, Peterson claims his injury came from falling into a chair rather than a punch.

While alcohol was involved, Peterson told the outlet that wasn't the only reason the situation escalated.

'Me and the guy, we're cool,' Peterson said. 'We've known each other. It was literally like a brother situation. We agreed to disagree, we had our words, and we threw blows -- and that was it.'

Peterson added: 'I felt really bad. It's a situation where I kind of regret it.'

The outlet says that police were not called and are not investigating. The club did not punish either person involved.

Considered one of the greatest NFL running backs of all-time, Peterson was a seven-time Pro Bowler while in Minnesota.

He made history in 2012 as he rushed for 2,097 yards - the second-highest mark of all-time in a single season.

Peterson would later suit up for the likes of the Saints, Cardinals, Commanders, Lions, Titans and Seahawks, and last played in the 2021 season.
