This story is terrible. Not sure why this man was even free on bail after being accused of such a evil crime but nonetheless it happened. Joseph Patterson, the man who was arrested last year for the murder of Adrian Peterson’s son Tyrese now stands accused of kidnapping the mother of the same child. He is still awaiting trial for the murder charge and while out on bail got into an altercation with Tyrese’s mother and assaulted her and kidnapped her. Now he is back in jail again and hopefully someone will have sense this time and make sure he doesn’t get bail. Hit the jump.

The man suspected of killing Adrian Peterson’s 2-year-old son last year has been ARRESTED — after officials say he kidnapped the child’s mother and attacked her. The suspect is 28-year-old Joseph Robert Patterson — who was charged with murder and child abuse for allegedly beating Peterson’s son Tyrese to death in October 2013.
Patterson had been free on the murder charge on $750k bond — and was under instructions to NOT contact the child’s mother or anyone else in the family.
But Patterson apparently ignored the instructions — and kidnapped the child’s mother. Cops in Sioux Falls, South Dakota say they responded to a call early Tuesday morning.
Patterson was apprehended — and has since been charged with kidnapping, two counts of aggravated assault, interference with emergency communications and third-degree burglary.
The judge set bond for Patterson at a million dollars cash. During the hearing, the Minnehaha County state’s attorney said that Patterson knocked the victim unconscious and held her captive for more than an hour. He added that the victim had visible injuries on her neck.
