Adrian Peterson’s Wife Releases Statement on His Domestic Violence Arrest

Adrian Peterson’s wife, Ashley, posted a statement on Instagram on Tuesday concerning the longtime NFL running back’s Sunday-morning arrest. 

“On Sunday, Adrian and I had a verbal argument,” the statement read. “Unfortunately, it was on an airplane. At no point did Adrian hit or strike me. This is a private matter between my husband and myself. We ask that everyone respect our privacy so we can focus on what matters most: our children.”

Peterson was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence after Los Angeles International Airport police were called about possible domestic violence onboard an aircraft, which was departing to Houston.
