Ex-NFL Star Adrian Peterson Faces Arrest Warrants Over Missed Child Support Hearings

The former Minnesota Vikings running back is accused of failing to appear in court for two child support cases in Texas, with additional financial and legal troubles compounding his situation.

Two capias warrants have been issued for Adrian Peterson in Fort Bend County, Texas, for failing to appear in court for child support cases involving custodial parents based in Minnesota.
Peterson's publicist attributes the legal issues to a misunderstanding and states that he is working with his legal team to resolve the matter promptly.
The court has ordered Peterson to pay cash bonds of $9,500 and $7,500, and one child has been granted access to a portion of Peterson's NFL benefits for child support payments.
In addition to the child support cases, Peterson is reportedly facing property seizures to settle an estimated $12 million debt linked to unpaid loans, which he blames on his former financial advisor.
Peterson has a history of legal troubles, including a 2014 child abuse case and a recent misdemeanor assault charge for which he pleaded no contest and paid a fine.
