Free-agent running back Adrian Peterson said news this weekend of his arrest and subsequent domestic violence charge has been “blown out of proportion.”
Peterson was arrested and charged with felony domestic violence on Saturday, Sports Illustrated confirmed with the LAX airport police division PIO. According to the PIO, a plane flying to Houston “had to return to the gate due to a verbal and physical altercation between a male suspect and a female victim.”
“Airport Police conducted their investigation and made required notifications to FBI authorities. The male suspect was taken into custody by Airport Police and is currently being booked at LAPD Pacific Division,“ the PIO said in a statement to SI. “The passengers, along with the female victim, were able to continue with their flight plans.”
