patterson-1-1011

Joseph Robert Patterson, charged with multiple accounts related to the death of the two-year-old son of Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, has been released from jail on bond.

Earlier this week, the bond requirement was dropped from $750,000, which allowed Patterson to be freed by posting $75,000.

According to the Associated Press, the bond has been posted, and Patterson is free without conditions.

He’s charged with second-degree murder, manslaughter, aggravated assault, and aggravated battery in connection with the death of Tyrese Robert Ruffin.
