Peterson did acknowledge he had consumed alcohol leading up to the altercation, although he clarified that alcohol was not responsible for the fight. The 40-year-old Texas native compared the incident to “a brother situation.”
“Me and the guy, we’re cool. We’ve known each other. It was literally like a brother situation,” Peterson said. “We agreed to disagree, we had our words and we threw blows — and that was it.”

The seven-time Pro Bowler added he “felt really bad” about what happened. He also noted that he and the other man involved in the fight were later able to reach an understanding. No one was arrested or charged, and police did not respond.
In April, Peterson was arrested on a DWI charge after he attended an NFL Draft party in Minnesota.
