Disgraced former NFL star Adrian Peterson admitted to smoking "a little weed" during his court hearing yesterday.
Peterson was in court for a hearing on a child abuse charge following his arrest last month for beating his then 3-year-old son with a tree branch.
Now prosecutors want Peterson arrested again -- this time for violating the terms of his bond.
From HuffPo:
In a court motion, the Montgomery County District Attorney's Office said Peterson allegedly told a worker conducting his urinalysis exam during a Wednesday court appearance that he had smoked marijuana. Bond terms typically include not taking any illegal drugs.
"In light of this statement, and the fact that it was made during the urinalysis testing process, and the term 'weed' is a common slang term for marijuana, the state argues that the defendant has smoked marijuana while on bond," the district attorney's office wrote.
Peterson is currently free on a $15,000 bond after he was indicted last month on a felony charge of injury to a child for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year in suburban Houston. Peterson has said he never intended to harm his son and was only disciplining him in the same way he had been as a child growing up in East Texas. He faces up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine if convicted.
