According to PFT's Mike Florio, Peterson, his girlfriend, and some family members were at a nightclub in Houston. At closing time, a group of police officers entered the club, and they began instructing the remaining patrons to leave. Peterson wanted to get some water before he left, but an officer told Peterson that he needed to leave. Some words apparently were exchanged, but Peterson eventually walked to the exit with one of the club’s bouncers. It’s believed that one of the officers then jumped on Peterson’s back from behind and tried to take him down. Other officers then joined the fray and completed the arrest. As Florio notes, Peterson was charged with resisting arrest, which implies he was being arrested for something else. He is charged for now with no other crime and was released from jail this morning (after posting a $1,000 bond). ... For the record, the Vikings are aware of the incident and are gathering more info. But it sounds like the video will confirm this as being a minor incident going forward -- at least for Peterson. That said, we'll follow up as needed.
