NFL Legend Adrian Peterson Arrested for DWI After Vikings Draft Party Tom Dahlin/Getty Images

Vikings legend Adrian Peterson was arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) after leaving the Vikings draft party on Thursday night.

Peterson was arrested at 3:20 a.m. in Minnesota after officers allegedly clocked him doing 83 mph in a 55 mph zone in his Audi Q5. The state trooper who pulled him over put the Vikings legend through a breathalyzer test, and Peterson blew a .14, nearly twice the legal limit in Minnesota of .08.

After failing the test, Peterson was booked into Hennepin County Jail on a 4th-degree DWI charge and later released.

Earlier in the evening, Peterson had spoken to the crowd of Vikings fans at U.S. Bank Stadium.

In his 15-year career, Peterson ran for 14,918 yards and 120 touchdowns.
