The attorney for Minnesota Vikings RB Adrian Peterson, Rusty Hardin, said the Houston Police Department had no valid reason to arrest Peterson Saturday, July 7, and charge him with resisting arrest. Hardin said it’s baffling that Peterson would be charged with resisting arrest when the police still haven’t said what Peterson did to deserve an arrest in the first place. ‘That’s because there wasn’t anything to arrest him for, and that goes right to the heart of everything,’ Hardin said. ‘There was no basis for it … He wasn’t doing anything to merit an arrest.’
