Ashley Brown, the wife of Adrian Peterson, released a statement Tuesday saying he was not physically violent in an airport argument that led to the free-agent running back's arrest.
"On Sunday, Adrian and I had a verbal argument. Unfortunately, it was on an airplane. At no point did Adrian hit or strike me," the statement read. "This is a private matter between my husband and myself. We ask that everyone respect our privacy so we can focus on what matters most: our children."
Adrian Peterson was arrested Sunday in Los Angeles on a domestic violence charge.
