Detroit Lions RB Adrian Peterson ordered to pay $8.3M to loan company, records show

Detroit Lions running back Adrian Peterson has been ordered to pay almost $8.3 million in summary judgment to a Pennsylvania loan company after a defaulted loan in 2016, New York State Supreme Court records show.

DeAngelo Vehicle Sales, LLC sued Peterson in 2018 after the running back failed to pay back an initial sum of $5.2 million, including interest, by March 1, 2017. Including interest in 2018 when the case was filed in New York Supreme Court, DVS asked for $6,546,448.32 -- and then continued interest for every day he didn't pay.
