From ESPN:

A representative for Peterson and his wife, Ashley, said in a statement that the two “had a verbal argument” on the flight.

Peterson grabbed her wedding ring and scratched her finger, a source close to the Petersons said, and the plane then returned to the gate.

The source said Ashley Peterson was not going to press charges.

Peterson was taken into custody and booked at the Los Angeles Police Department Pacific Division. He was released on Sunday afternoon after posting bond.

Peterson is an NFL free agent after spending the 2021 season with the Tennessee Titans and ending the year with the Seattle Seahawks.
