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

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

“On Sunday, Adrian and I had a verbal argument,” the statement said. “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 on Sunday after LAX airport police were called about a possible domestic violence onboard an aircraft, which was departing to Houston, Texas.
