Former NFL Star Adrian Peterson Reaches Plea Deal

Adrian Peterson reaches plea deal for last year's DWI

Per the Hollywood outlet, Peterson pled guilty to one count of driving while impaired and was sentenced to 90 days at the Hennepin County Adult Corrections Facility.

However, AD won't have to spend any time behind bars and will instead perform 32 hours of community service within 180 days as part of his probation agreement — along with required alcohol screening and attendance at a victim impact panel.

The remaining charges were dropped as well, but Peterson will have to avoid any more drug/alcohol-related driving infractions. Otherwise the penalties will be more steep in the future.

Peterson is also due back in court in Texas later this week for his October arrest where he was found asleep at the wheel with an unlawful handgun in his glove box.
