Jabrill Peppers arrested for assault prior to Patriots Week 5 loss to Dolphins

The New England Patriots had an awful Sunday. New England entered the week with a 1-3 record and sitting at the bottom of the AFC East. They desperately needed a win against the reeling Dolphins on Sunday. Not only did the Patriots lose to the Tua-less Dolphins, they also lost one of their defensive veterans before the game even kicked off.

Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was arrested early Saturday morning in Braintree, Massachusetts, per Ryan Breslin of Boston25. Braintree police said he will be charged with assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a class “B” substance.
