The following has been added to the story by now. There's also audio of what I think is a sports-talk radio interview with one Jerome Solomon, a columnist for the Houston Chronicle or TMZ:

According to Jerome Solomon, the Houston Chronicle columnist who broke the story, Peterson was out with his girlfriend and family at the nightclub, when police arrived, telling everyone to get out.
Peterson wanted to get a drink of water first, according to Solomon, and an officer told him to leave. Peterson tried to leave and was walking out with a bouncer, when the officer allegedly jumped him from behind. Others officers joined in the effort.
“Either came from out of the blue, as if Adrian was trying to get away from something, or in the back and forth of the wording, the police officer decided, ‘I’m going to arrest the guy because I don’t like what he said,’” Solomon said.
Sources close to WCCO sports’ Mike Max say that Peterson was not physical, and he is upset with how he was treated by one officer in particular.
Solomon said the officer was probably not on duty, but hired by the club for security. He said that is a common practice there.
He also said there is surveillance tape of the incident. “My guess is that the police are going to say, ‘We told him to stop, and he didn’t, so we took him down,’” he said.
Peterson will remain in Houston for the next couple of days to meet with his lawyers. They are interested in talking to specific witnesses as soon as Sunday.

Solomon says white people probably haven't heard of being arrested for resisting arrest, implying that minorities are familiar with the concept.

The bit about AP still being in jail on $1000 bail is still in the article as of this posting.
