Son of Adrian Peterson critically hurt
The 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is in critical condition in a South Dakota hospital, and a man who police say was caring for the child has been arrested.
"All I can say is, we are asking for prayers and for respect for our family as we deal with this tragic situation," said the player's father, Nelson Peterson, who told the St. Paul Pioneer Press that the child was Adrian Peterson's son.
Joseph Patterson, 27, is being held on two felony counts of aggravated battery of an infant and aggravated assault domestic. He was in court Friday for a probable cause hearing where bail was expected to be discussed.
Police and an EMS crew were called to a Sioux Falls home Wednesday where the child was found to be unresponsive and was rushed to the hospital, according to a police statement. The child was under Patterson's care at the time and nobody else was at the home.
