Following his February arrest on suspicion of domestic violence, free-agent running back Adrian Peterson has agreed to complete 20 sessions of domestic violence and alcohol counseling within six months.
The altercation happened around 8:30 a.m. on February 13 on a Houston-bound plane—a “verbal and physical altercation between a male suspect and a female victim,” Peterson and his wife, Ashley.
“Purple Jesus” was booked in Los Angeles and later released on $50,000 bond.
Ashley later wrote on Instagram, “On Sunday, Adrian and I had a verbal argument. Unfortunately it was on an airplane. At no point did Adrian hit or strike me. 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.”
