Patriots Safety Jabrill Peppers Arrested On Assault, Strangulation, Drug Charges: Report

A victim in Braintree, MA, told police Saturday, Oct. 5 that the 29-year-old New England Patriots safety became upset when someone called her phone while they were having sex, NBC10 says citing a police report.

Peppers, a New Jersey native and four-time state high school football champion, smashed her head against the wall, pushed her down the stairs, and choked her at least six times, NBC10 said.

Citing court paperwork, CBS said the athlete answered the door without a shirt on saying, "I know what is going on." He also apparently denied putting his hands on the victim and said he asked her to leave the apartment repeatedly.
