Yet another famous NFL running back is amid controversy due to headlines surrounding domestic violence. This time its the Minnesota Vikings Adrian Peterson, who turned himself into authorities early Saturday morning (September 13) after he was accused of abusing his son.
TMZ reports:
Peterson was booked in Houston just after 1 AM and released a half hour later.
The football star is accused of beating his 4-year-old son with a tree branch … hitting him so hard it left welts and caused him to bleed.
Peterson actually admitted to cops he gave his son “a whooping” and says it’s the same treatment he got as a kid. Peterson’s lawyer adds that his client “deeply regrets the unintentional injury.”
Peterson will sit during Sunday’s Vikings and New England Patriots game. Stay tuned for more details.
