Adrian Peterson was arrested for domestic violence in Los Angeles on Super Bowl Sunday.
Peterson, 36, the longtime NFL running back, was arrested over a domestic dispute with his wife, Ashley, at LAX as the couple was on their way out of Los Angeles from Super Bowl week, TMZ reported. A representative for the couple gave this statement to TMZ: “Earlier today Adrian and his wife Ashley had a verbal argument on a flight, and he was removed from the plane. This is a private misunderstanding between husband and wife and we anticipate it will all be resolved shortly.”
TMZ also added that Peterson is expected to be released from custody soon.
The report stated that the alleged incident occurred on a plane, which had to turn around on the runway and return to the gate because of a verbal and physical altercation between the husband and wife.
Peterson was arrested when it was determined that his wife sustained a small mark from their altercation. He was arrested at 9:20 a.m. PST, and booked at 11:33. Bail was set at $50,000.
Ashley reportedly stayed on the plane as it departed as planned.
The couple attended the DirecTV Super Bowl party in Los Angeles on Saturday night, the New York Post reported.
