New details emerge after Patriots captain Jabrill Peppers was arrested

New England Patriots captain Jabrill Peppers was arrested Saturday morning. He is charged with assault, assault with a dangerous weapon, strangulation and possession of cocaine.

When Peppers appeared in Quincy District Court on Monday, he pleaded not guilty. According to court documents, the incident stemmed from an early morning disturbance call following an argument between Peppers and his girlfriend.

The woman told Braintree police after the two had sex that they got into a heated argument about someone calling her, Boston 25's Bob Ward reported.

“My (boyfriend) put his hand on my neck, hit my head against a wall and then pushed me down the stairs,” the woman told police.

According to police, the victim was treated at the scene by emergency services.

Peppers told police the two argued after sex and he asked her to leave, but she refused. Peppers denies choking her, hitting her head against the wall or throwing her down the stairs.

Peppers' attorney, Mark Brofsky. said video and other evidence contradict the woman's claim.

“He (Peppers) is not going to comment now,” Brofsky told reporters at Quincy District Court, according to Ryan Breslin of Boston 25. “But I repeat what I said in the courtroom: that we have evidence that supports the suspect's story completely contradict the victim. And I expect that my client will be completely exonerated.”

Peppers was named captain of the Patriots before the start of the season. The veteran safety did not play in New England's game against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. Peppers was sidelined Saturday after previously being listed on the injury report with a shoulder injury.

Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo told reporters that Peppers called him Saturday morning to tell him about the incident. The Patriots released a statement regarding the allegations and Mayo said the organization would gather more information.
