The arrest followed a neighbor's 9-1-1 call in the early hours of Saturday morning, reporting a disturbance involving Peppers and his girlfriend. A police report obtained by Peter Eliopoulos and Jamy Pombo Sesselman of WCVB-TV in Boston said that Peppers "hit her, choked her, took off her clothing and put her outside."
