BRAINTREE, Mass. (AP) — Police say Patriots captain Jabrill Peppers was arrested over the weekend on assault, strangulation and other charges following a disturbance at a home. The 29-year-old Peppers appeared for his arraignment Monday in Quincy District Court on the charges, which police say include assault and battery with a dangerous weapon and possession of a Class “B” substance believed to be cocaine. Peppers was arrested early Saturday. His attorney said evidence in the case “sheds real doubt on the allegations, including videotaped evidence.” Coach Jerod Mayo said the team is still gathering information. Peppers will be allowed in the Patriots’ facilities for now.
