Former NFL running back Adrian Peterson has been ordered by a Houston judge to turn over numerous assets as a means toward paying a debt that is estimated at more than $12 million.
The court-appointed receiver, Robert Berleth, requested this order in July and said Peterson «is known to have numerous assets» at his home in Missouri City, Texas.
The Houston judge on Monday ordered constables in Fort Bend County, Texas, to accompany Berleth to Peterson's residence to keep the peace.
Peterson's debt issues began when he took out a loan for $5.2 million from a Pennsylvania lending company in 2016. The sum has grown because of interest and attorney's fees, leading to an $8.3 million judgment against him in 2021. «No offsets have been made against this judgment to date,» the receiver stated in the July court filing.
