Disturbing New Details Emerge in Patriot Star’s Controversy: ‘Choked Her,’ ‘Put Her Outside’
New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was arrested following allegations of domestic violence, including choking a woman and using physical force against her. According to a police report from Braintree, Massachusetts, the woman claimed that Peppers hit her, choked her multiple times, and pushed her down the stairs. Peppers, 29, allegedly admitted to possessing cocaine when police discovered a bag of white powder in his wallet.
In a contrasting account, Peppers asserted that the woman was intoxicated and fell on her own. He denied all allegations of violence and suggested that the woman was making false claims to ruin his career. His attorney stated that there is evidence, including video footage, that would exonerate him. Peppers faces multiple charges, including assault and battery, strangulation, and possession of a controlled substance. The Patriots organization acknowledged the incident and that he did not participate in the game following his arrest due to a shoulder injury. The NFL is aware of the situation but has not commented further.
A police report alleged that New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers choked a woman Saturday prior to his arrest.
Braintree police said that the woman who contacted police said, Peppers “hit her, choked her, took off her clothing and put her outside,” according to WCVB-TV.
The woman told officers who responded at 4:15 a.m. on Saturday that Peppers, 29, put one hand on her neck and slammed her head against a wall.
The report said the woman alleged Peppers then pushed her down the stairs.
The woman “reported that [Peppers] choked her at least six times, and she did not lose consciousness,” the police report said, according to WHDH.
Court documents quoted Peppers as claiming the woman “was making those allegations to destroy his career.”
After Peppers was taken to the Braintree Police Station, a clear plastic bag with white powder within it was found in the wallet of the Patriots captain, according to WCVB.
Peppers told police, “It’s cocaine,” the police report read.
Jabrill Peppers’ attorney: “What I said in the court room, I’ll repeat: We have evidence that completely contradicts the alleged victim’s story, and I expect my client to be fully exonerated.”

Peppers told police a very different version of the altercation. He said he asked the woman to leave his apartment, and she refused.
Peppers said he did not put his hands on the woman and said she “fell by herself on the stairs because she was intoxicated,” the police report said, according to WCVB.
“He denied pushing her down the stairs and said that she was making those allegations to destroy his career,” the report said.
“There’s evidence, I’ve already seen. It sheds real doubt on the allegations, including video tape evidence,” said attorney Mark Brofsky, who represents Peppers.

Peppers did not play Sunday in New England’s 15-10 loss to the Miami Dolphins. He had been nursing a shoulder injury.
