The general manager of the Houston nightclub where Adrian Peterson was arrested early Saturday described the Minnesota Vikings star as a highly intoxicated, belligerent customer, TMZ.com reported. Peterson, charged with misdemeanor resisting arrest, posted $1,000 bond and faces a Friday court appearance. Daniel Maher, general manager of Live at Bayou Place, told TMZ that Peterson "tried to intimidate the bartender" for another drink after last call was announced. When confronted by an off-duty police officer, Peterson made a threatening gesture. "He looked really scary and I thought he was going to attack the cops," Maher told TMZ. Peterson is in Houston rehabilitating from a serious knee injury on Dec. 24. Quarterback Christian Ponder told the Minneapolis Star-Tribune that Peterson has the support of his teammates. "Obviously he's probably a little embarrassed by this, but he's a guy we count on," Ponder told the Star-Tribune. "We all have made mistakes. He'll learn from it. We'll be all right."

Just gotta wait for more concrete facts to come out, aka the video. After what it sounded like at first I'm not just taking the word of this guy who could just as easily be tight with the cops who were there. Regardless, after conflicting reports, I gotta hear more before making a judgment.
