A prosecutor in Texas wants Adrian Peterson arrested and his bond revoked after the NFL star allegedly admitted to smoking marijuana while out on bail on a felony child abuse charge . Montgomery County District Attorney Brett Ligon sent a motion to the 9th District Court to set aside the NFL star 's bail , saying Peterson told an employee of a company that does drug testing that he `` smoked a little weed . '' Peterson posted $ 15,000 bail on September 12 . Ligon said Peterson 's reported admission before giving a urine sample on Wednesday amounts to grounds for revocation of the bond . One of Peterson 's attorneys , Rusty Hardin , said he had no comment on the latest development in the case , which is tentatively scheduled to go to trial on December 1 . In his motion , Ligon said Texas law allows a judge to `` order the accused to be rearrested , and require the accused to give another bond . '' It is unclear when a judge will rule on Ligon 's request . There also is a motion from Ligon for Judge Kelly Case to recuse himself . A hearing was set for November . Peterson trial to begin in December if judge is n't nixed for 'media whores ' jab . Peterson -- who in 2011 signed a seven-year contract worth more than $ 100 million and is considered one of the NFL 's best running backs , if not the best -- left the Minnesota Vikings last month after the team deactivated , then activated and deactivated him again after accusations that he whipped his 4-year-old son with a `` switch , '' or slender tree branch . The Vikings did n't immediately respond to CNN 's request for comment . Authorities have not divulged details of the case against Peterson , but photos obtained by TMZ allegedly show Peterson 's son 's leg covered in marks , some of which appeared to have broken the skin . Peterson turned himself in and was released on a $ 15,000 bond . According to Texas law , people can be convicted of injury to a child if they cause bodily or mental injury `` intentionally , knowingly , recklessly or with criminal negligence '' or cause such harm by omission . The crime is punishable by up to two years in a state jail and a $ 1,000 fine . Hardin has said his client never meant to harm the boy and was simply doling out discipline much like `` he experienced as a child growing up in East Texas . '' Peterson likewise defended himself , saying he is `` not a perfect parent , but I am , without a doubt , not a child abuser . ''
Prosecutor says Peterson admitted to smoking marijuana while on bail . District Attorney Brett Ligon is asking for the NFL star to be rearrested . It is the second legal wrinkle in two days for the child abuse case . On Wednesday , the prosecutor asked the judge to recuse himself .
