Free-agent running back and longtime Minnesota Viking Adrian Peterson was arrested on a felony for an alleged domestic violence incident.
Peterson, 36, was reportedly taken into custody on Super Bowl Sunday after an incident with his wife at LAX.
“Earlier today Adrian and his wife Ashley had a verbal argument on a flight, and he was removed from the plane,” a representative for the Petersons said. “This is a private misunderstanding between husband and wife, and we anticipate it will all be resolved shortly.”
In 2014, Peterson faced felony charges for alleged child abuse involving his four-year-old son. He pled no contest.
