New England Patriots safety Jabril Peppers pleaded not guilty on Monday following his arrest on assault, strangulation, drug possession and other charges.
Braintree, Mass., police said they were called to a disturbance at a home early Saturday after Peppers allegedly attacked his girlfriend after she received a phone call. He reportedly knocked the woman down, bashed her head against a wall, pushed her down a flight of stairs and strangled her before throwing her out of the house.
He was arrested at the scene without incident and purportedly nodded and said “I know what is going on” after answering the door.
