Adrian Peterson is in some legal hot water, with authorities in Fort Bend County, Texas, issuing warrants in his name.

According to USA Today, the warrants are out as a result of the former NFL MVP failing to appear in court for two separate child support cases.

“The current legal case is related to a misunderstanding regarding Adrian’s court appearances as it relates to child support, and he is actively working with his legal team to resolve this matter as quickly as possible,” Peterson’s publicist Denise White told the publication.

“He is committed to clearing up this situation and moving forward positively.”

Adrian Peterson Has Had Some Financial Woes Despite All The Money He Earned During His Career

Peterson earned over $100 million playing football from 2007-2021. But he has had some debt issues since retiring. Court records from February showed he had not paid a penny of the $8.3 million he owed to DeAngelo Vehicle Sales LLC despite an order to pay over a prior three-year period.

The Former Vikings running back was also ordered to pay $2.4 million to a creditor in 2019, as well as a Minnesota bank in 2018.
