Adrian Peterson was ordered to be arrested for his admission on pot use.
After he confirmed with a drug tester last Wednesday that he had smoked marijuana recently before taking a urinalysis, he was re-arrested.
Prosecutors in Montgomery County, Texas have filed the paperwork to have the player's bail revoked and have him re-arrested.
This latest issue might affect his membership with the Vikings permanently.
Adrian Lewis Peterson is an American football running back for the Minnesota Vikings of the National Football League. He was drafted in the 2007 NFL draft buy the Vikings seventh overall.According to the paperwork filed which was signed by Bill Delmore, the Assistant District Attorney for the state of Texas, the Viking's running back admitted to the worker that he had "smoked a little weed" before the urinalysis exam. When out on a bond, one of the common terms in not taking any illegal drugs.
The District attorney's office said, "In light of this statement, and the fact that it was made during the urinalysis testing process, and the term 'weed' is a common slang term for marijuana, the state argues that the defendant has smoked marijuana while on bond.''
Peterson was recently indicted last month by the grand jury of Montgomery County, Texas on charges of reckless or negligent injury to a child, which occurred May this year. He was free on a bond worth $15,000 and his trial will begin on December.
The 29-year-old was accused of beating his four-year-old son with a tree branch. This caused severe bleeding on various parts of the child's body. When the news broke out, Vikings quickly deactivated Peterson for a single game.
Rusty Hardin, Peterson's attorney, had urged people not to "rush to judgment" with his client. However, if he is convicted on the charge of child abuse, he could be put on probation as a first time offender. NFL could also suspend hum for up to six weeks.
