New England Patriots Jabrill Peppers is facing serious charges.

Peppers was arrested Saturday and is expected to be charged with assault and battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, strangulation, and possession of a Class B drug, according to CBS News.

The arrest stems from an alleged incident that happened in a residence in Braintree, Massachusetts. The alleged victim was treated at the scene, and the police announced his arrest Monday. Authorities believe the drug he allegedly had was cocaine.

Peppers wasn't active Sunday due to dealing with a shoulder injury, which is likely why the general public didn't notice that he was gone and already in police custody.
