Patriots' Jabrill Peppers arrested on assault charges – NBC Boston

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was arrested early Saturday morning on multiple charges, including assault.

Braintree police said they responded to a disturbance at a residential address early Saturday morning. The caller stated that there had been an argument between two people.

An investigation ensued and it was reported that Peppers, 29, had been arrested. Police said he faces charges of assault, assault with a dangerous weapon, strangulation and possession of cocaine.

The victim was treated at the scene by emergency services. No information was given about her condition.

Peppers is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in Quincy District Court.

He is a team captain but did not play in Sunday's loss to the Miami Dolphins because of a shoulder injury. The 29-year-old plays safety for the Patriots and comes from New Jersey. This is his third season in New England, after three seasons with the New York Giants and two with the Cleveland Browns.

The Patriots released a statement on the situation Monday morning.

“We are aware of an incident involving Jabrill Peppers over the weekend which police are currently investigating. We will have no further comment at this time,” the statement said.
