Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers’s trial was set to begin Wednesday, but a water main break in the area of Quincy District Court delayed the beginning of jury selection, news outlets reported.
Peppers is accused of slamming his girlfriend’s head into a wall and choking her in October. He was arrested Oct. 5 and charged with domestic assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a Class B substance.
He pleaded not guilty to all charges at his arraignment, and his final pre-trial hearing concluded last week.
