NFL legend Adrian Peterson was seen slumped over at the wheel of his SUV on Sunday morning, just minutes before he was arrested for DWI.

quote:
The former Minnesota Vikings star was spotted dozing off in the driver's seat of his ride while he was at a Sugar Land, Texas gas station. A witness who photographed the former footballer at the scene tells TMZ Sports the 40-year-old's engine was still running while he was asleep, and his phone was still in his hand.

Law enforcement sources confirmed to us officers did, indeed, find Peterson in that manner.

We're told when cops responded to the scene, they took him out of the vehicle and investigated him for potentially drinking and driving.

Law enforcement sources say he displayed signs of intoxication during questioning ... and later bombed field sobriety tests. We're also told a gun was found inside his car.

Yes be needs help. Yes be needed to be taken off the road. No he should not be getting arrested for dwi for being parked and asleep. Car running or not. That's such a BS part of the law, and actually forces drunks to drive knowing they can't just sleep it off in their car.

Unless AP has previously been convicted of a felony, the "gun was found inside his car" is totally irrelevant in Texas and no reason for the media report to state that part.

I’m surprised at the responses in here. We are loud mouths when it comes to sports, but all seem to be realistic when it comes to pain. Well done. This isn’t an easy world. It’s brutal. “Just to get through the day” looks different to everyone.

Addiction is no laughing matter. Get help or die. Hopefully no one dies with you.

I pray he can get the help. That alcohol devil is a tough cookie and very hard to beat down by yourself. I have seen wonderful people have to fight that fight and the loners did not prevail.

He needs rehab or prison before he kills someone.

Somebody that loves him needs to get this dude into a treatment program.
He will probably be required now. Might need a year in the clink to figure it out.
