Patriots Safety Jabrill Peppers to Stand Trial in January on Assault and Drug Charges

The NFL player faces allegations of domestic violence and cocaine possession, with his trial set for January 22, 2025, in Massachusetts.

Jabrill Peppers, a New England Patriots captain, was arrested in October on charges including assault, strangulation, and possession of cocaine.
The alleged victim claims Peppers choked her multiple times, smashed her head into a wall, and threw her down stairs during an altercation at his residence.
Peppers has pleaded not guilty and his lawyer argues that video evidence shows no injuries consistent with the allegations.
The plaintiff has filed a $10.5 million civil suit, which Peppers' attorney suggests undermines the credibility of the criminal case.
Peppers remains on the NFL's commissioner exempt list, barring him from games and practices but allowing him to continue receiving his salary.
