NFL free agent and former Vikings' RB Adrian Peterson was arrested in February following an alleged domestic violence incident with his wife Ashley.

Peterson will be required to complete 20 domestic violence and alcohol counselling sessions due to his February arrest. This was reported by Los Angeles City Attorney's Office.

Let me remind you that, Peterson was arrested on Feb. 13, just hours before Super Bowl LVI, at Los Angeles International Airport after police said he and his wife got into a «verbal and physical altercation» on a flight going to Houston, Texas. That flight turned back to the airport, and Peterson was interrogated and then released on bond.

Here is a quote said by Peterson back in February after the incident:


«It's blown out of proportion,» Peterson said in February. «Me and the wife got into an argument on the plane. That was pretty much the gist of it. I ended up grabbing her hand and taking her ring off her finger. She didn't press any charges. The state of California pressed charges because there was a scratch on her hand.

«I don't hit women. It's not that type of situation, and it just looks bad. I'll deal with it, and God willing get the charges dropped and move on.»

Hopefully, this matter gets taken care of and everyone can move on from this. Like it or not, this is not a good look for Adrian Peterson at this point.
