NFL Star: I'm '200% Innocent' In Confrontation with Cop

July 13, 2012 |

Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson told reporters at court that he is "200% innocent" of a misdemeanor resisting arrest charge stemming from a confrontation with Houston Police officers.

Peterson was arrested July 7 by three off-duty Houston officers at a nightclub in downtown Houston.

Peterson was arrested after an off-duty officer twice asked him to leave the club and he allegedly pushed the officer.
