NORMAN, Okla. (AP) -- A younger brother of former University of Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson was jailed in Cleveland County on two felony charges.

Norman police arrested Brandon Xavier Peterson, 18, and Joseph Parker, 20, Monday on suspicion of first-degree burglary and robbery by force or fear. Police are looking for a third suspect.

Both men were scheduled for arraignment on Tuesday.

About 5:08 p.m. Sunday, a man reported being robbed at the Thunderbird Lodge in southwest Norman. The victim told police he heard loud knocks on his door. When he opened the door, a man hit him in the face and someone else took his money.

Police say they arrested Peterson and Parker after receiving a suspicious person call that led officers to Parker's residence. The men were transported to Cleveland County jail Monday night.

Adrian Peterson, who rushed for 4,045 yards and 41 touchdowns in three seasons at Oklahoma, was selected seventh overall by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the NFL draft last month.
