Adrian Peterson is going to miss the Super Bowl.
The reason being he was arrested on a flight back to Houston and is currently sitting in an LA jail. The airport cops are saying he got into an altercation on the plane.
It got so bad they had to turn the plane back around after it had left the runway.
Here are the details via TMZ Sports.
Law enforcement sources tell us the ex-Vikings star running back was arrested and booked for felony domestic violence Sunday at LAX — this after airport police got a call at about 8:30 AM over a disturbance on an aircraft leaving LAX and attempting to take off en route to Houston.
We’re told the plane actually had to turn around on the runway and link up with the gate again after an apparent verbal and physical altercation between a man and woman.
After a preliminary investigation — and after making required notifications to the FBI — our sources say Peterson was taken into custody … as the alleged victim was seen to have sustained a small mark from whatever happened. Indeed … we’re told the woman is Peterson’s wife, Ashley Brown.
After her husband was hauled off the plane, we’re told the flight was able to depart as planned … which included Ashley, who stayed onboard with the rest of the passengers.
It looks like Ashley at least will be able to watch the game.
Since it is a Sunday, it is likely that Peterson won’t be able to get out of jail until Monday at the earliest.
No comment has been made from Peterson, his camp or his wife.
They were at a couple of Super Bowl parties this weekend, and everything seemed fine. People are going to be curious to know what caused the argument.
