Patriots captain Jabrill Peppers arrested on assault, strangulation, drug charges

New England Patriots captain Jabrill Peppers was arrested over the weekend on charges of assault, strangulation, and other offenses following a disturbance at a home in Braintree, Massachusetts. Peppers, 29, faces additional charges of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a Class B substance, believed to be cocaine. He is scheduled for arraignment in Quincy District Court. The incident involved an altercation between two individuals, with one person receiving treatment at the scene. Patriots coach Jerod Mayo commented that the team is still gathering information about the arrest, and Peppers will remain allowed in the team’s facilities for now. Peppers, a safety, was signed to an extension this summer and is currently recovering from a shoulder injury.
