HOUSTON (AP) - Prosecutors
have again agreed to push back the court date for Minnesota Vikings
running back Adrian Peterson to face a misdemeanor resisting arrest
charge.
A pretrial hearing was
originally scheduled for July 13, and it was initially moved to Monday.
Attorney Rusty Hardin says hearings will now be held Sept. 27 and Nov.
15 before Judge Natalie Fleming.
Hardin says prosecutors
need more time to review evidence and conduct interviews about the July 7
incident in which Peterson was arrested outside a Houston night club.
Dressed in a gray suit with
a blue polka-dot tie, Peterson chatted with defendants and signed
autographs in the courtroom Monday morning as Hardin talked with
attorneys and Fleming. Peterson did not speak to reporters outside the
courtroom before he and Hardin boarded an elevator.
