Report: Adrian Peterson won’t face felony domestic violence charge

Football fans around the world were greeted with some unfortunate news Sunday morning before the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals faced off in Super Bowl LVI.

Long-time NFL running back and former Seattle Seahawk, Adrian Peterson, was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence following an altercation with his wife that day as the plane began to depart Los Angeles International Airport, bound for Houston, Texas.

Most assumed a felony charge would be filed promptly after the incident, although a recent report from TMZ news suggests otherwise.

“A rep from the L.A. DA’s office tells TMZ Sports they’ve elected not to charge the 36-year-old running back,” the exclusive article states. “But, Peterson isn’t totally in the clear just yet. The case will now be sent to the Los Angeles City Attorney … who could opt to bring misdemeanor domestic violence charges against AD (Peterson).”Peterson appeared in one game for Seattle last season after he was signed to the practice squad in December. He is now a free agent.
