Overview
- Fort Bend County jail records show Peterson, 40, was taken into custody in Sugar Land on Oct. 26 and booked on charges of driving while intoxicated and unlawful carrying of a weapon.
- Authorities said he spent the night in jail and met a judge on Oct. 27 to become eligible for bail, and TMZ reported jail records later reflected his release Monday afternoon.
- Sugar Land police confirmed the arrest and charges but declined to provide further information because the investigation remains active.
- TMZ published photos and cited law enforcement sources saying Peterson was found asleep at the wheel with the engine running, failed field sobriety tests, and had a gun in the car; police have not publicly confirmed those specifics.
- This is Peterson’s second alcohol-related arrest in 2025 after an April stop in Minnesota where authorities said he was speeding and registered a 0.14% BAC, and Texas law allows repeat DWI offenses to carry enhanced penalties.
