New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers admitted to cocaine possession when appearing in court on Thursday for multiple assault charges, according to Boston Herald's Flint McColgan.
Peppers was arrested last October after allegedly choking a woman, smashing her head against a wall and throwing her down the stairs.
During the arrest, Braintree police in Massachusetts found a substance in Peppers' wallet that they believed to be cocaine. Peppers admitted that the substance was cocaine when appearing at the Quincy District Court.
The Patriots agreed to a three-year, $24 million extension with Peppers last summer.
