Presumably, someone close to Adrian Peterson told the embattled Minnesota Vikings running back to lay low while his felony child abuse case was ongoing and his NFL future was up in the air.
The opposite of laying low would be to smoke some marijuana before a court appearance, then tell a court employee during a urine test that you “smoked a little weed,” as Peterson allegedly did on Wednesday according to Fox 26 in Houston.
The Montgomery County District Attorney has now asked the judge to revoke Peterson’s bail and have him arrested again, according to ESPN.com and Fox 26. Peterson had been free on a $15,000 bond. Using drugs would be a violation of his bond conditions. Fox 26 said no action was likely to take place against Peterson on Thursday, because the judge has a recusal hearing scheduled for Friday. Peterson’s trial is tentatively scheduled for Dec. 1.

Peterson is on the NFL’s exempt/commissioner’s permission list while his case is unresolved. Peterson has had a lot of negative publicity since he was indicted for allegedly hitting his child with a switch as punishment, including sponsors leaving him and the Vikings maintaining their distance. His latest alleged lapse in judgment won’t help his reputation.
