It’s sad that this doesnt surprise me given his history. I hope it isnt true but if it is, no way he should be in the Vikings Ring of Honor

Adrian Peterson arrested for domestic violence after alleged airplane altercation with wife

Ryan Glasspiegel
Adrian Peterson was arrested for domestic violence in Los Angeles on Super Bowl Sunday.
According to TMZ, Peterson, the 36-year-old longtime NFL running back, was arrested over a domestic dispute with his wife, Ashley, at LAX as the couple was on their way out of Los Angeles from Super Bowl week.
The report states that the alleged incident occurred on an aircraft, which had to turn around on the runway and return to the gate due to a verbal and physical altercation between the husband and wife. 
Peterson was arrested when it was determined that his wife sustained a small mark from their altercation. He was arrested at 9:20 a.m. PST, and booked at 11:33. Bail was set at $50,000.
The plane reportedly took off after Peterson was arrested, with Ashley staying aboard the flight. 
The couple attended the DirecTV Super Bowl party in Los Angeles on Saturday night. 
Peterson was previously arrested in 2014 for striking his son with a wooden switch. In 2018, he said he still spanks his son with a belt.

Guys a trash human being. I'm sure we'll still have people making excuses for him though.

Amazing player, sucks he hasn’t stayed out of trouble off the field. Depending on how this case goes and how much media scrutiny it gets, he might’ve just cost himself a shot at the HOF. Not sure if that’s important to him or not but, bummer. Probably our best player since Randy.

Sad. Great career that ends in debt and with altercations & arrests for physical abuse of wife / child.   Lets all hope he can get some help and find some internal peace.

Remember before all the Revelation's (pun intended) that we called him "Purple Jesus".  If I was still Catholic, I would have to confess that sacrilege to some strange man in a booth dressed in a black dress :)  Just saying, things have changed a wee bit in my life since calling him Purple Jesus :)

A plane having to be turned around because a man with a history of violence gets into a dispute with a female isn't a non story thing. Whether he laid hands on her or not.

yeah,  I listend to KFan today too,  but it was also noted that in many cases they arrest/detain the male as he is the assumed aggressor ( which in APs case is a safe assumption} in order to defuse the situation and allow the police time to investigate the facts  and interview the witnesses.  The LA prosecutor chose not to pursue charges,  I have to think that a large market prosecutor, with a chance to convict Adrian Peterson, was not bought off or easily did the catch and release with a fish that big,  especially since any quick google search would quickly show that any bribery check would likely bounce.
