Minnesota Vikings player Adrian Peterson has been indicted for reckless or negligent injury to a child in North Montgomery County, Texas.
According to TMZ:
Sources connected to Peterson tell us … the alleged victim is a male child from Minnesota who was visiting Adrian back in May at AP’s home in Texas.
We’re told the child returned home to his mother in Minn. who noticed injuries and took the child to a doctor. A short time later, the doctor contacted authorities in Texas to report Adrian.
Child Protective Services confirms they are working on a case involving Peterson and say the alleged victim is an 11-year-old boy.
If you recall, Peterson was in the news last year after the boyfriend of his child’s mother beat the toddler to death.
