Me and the wife got into an argument on the plane. That was pretty much the gist of it. I ended up grabbing her hand and taking her ring off her finger. She didn\u2019t press any charges. The state of California pressed charges because there was a scratch on her hand. Literally that\u2019s why I went to jail, because the ring left a scratch on her finger. We just had a disagreement. I know the headlines: Domestic violence. You\u2019d think I beat her up or something. It was nothing like that,\u201d Peterson said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOnly thing I will say is it looks horrible because Adrian Peterson arrested for domestic violence,\u201d he added. \u201cI don\u2019t hit women. It\u2019s not that type of situation, and it just looks bad.
