As per ESPN, Peppers is being charged with “assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a Class B substance believed to be cocaine.”
A hearing is set for November 22, but Peppers’ presence has been waived as per the outlet.
The Patriots and NFL stated they are aware of the situation, though Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo didn’t speak on Peppers’ future with the team.
Peppers was signed to a three-year, $30 million extension by the team this offseason.
“He called me that morning. I knew what was going on,” Mayo told sports radio WEEI on Monday. “We’ve informed the NFL what was going on and we’re still gathering information.
“I don’t think anyone knows the facts or anything like that. It’s a process.”
