KHOU-TV in Houston reported Monday night that Vikings running back Adrian Peterson was accused of injuring another son in June 2013. According to the report, Peterson supposedly disciplined his son for "cussing into a sib," resulting in a injury to the 4-year old boy’s head.
The boy’s mother allegedly filed a report with Texas Child Protective Services. The outcomes of any investigation are uncertain and no charges have now been filed in the case.
In a text to NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport, Peterson’s attorney Rusty Hardin wrote, "The claims were made over this past year to CPS and law enforcement with no action was taken. Plus there was an adult witness within the vehicle and she flatly denied that Adrian caused any harm to the son."
Hardin also released a statement: "The claim of some other investigation into Adrian Peterson is not really accurate. That is not a brand new claim, it is one that’s unsubstantiated and was shopped around to authorities in two states over last year and nothing came of it. An adult witness adamantly insists Adrian did nothing improper along with his son. There’s absolutely no on-going or new investigation."
