It seems pointless starting a new thread every time a player misbehaves or does something stupid because it happens so frequently. Maybe this thread should just get pinned.

With a heavy sigh, here's yet another:
Patriots' Jabrill Peppers arrested Saturday on assault, possession charges

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers was arrested on Saturday morning on assault and cocaine possession charges, Braintree (Mass.) police confirmed to NFL.com.

Police said Monday in a statement that it responded to a disturbance at a residential address early on Oct. 5, with the caller indicating an altercation between two people. Peppers was arrested after an ensuing investigation. The victim of the alleged altercation was treated by emergency medical services at the scene.

Peppers will be charged with assault and battery; assault and battery with a dangerous weapon; strangulation; and possession of a Class "B" substance believed to be cocaine, police said.

The Patriots defensive back is scheduled for arraignment on Monday at Quincy District Court.

Former Bears DE Robert Quinn arrested in South Carolina on charges of reckless driving, hit-and-run

Former Bears defensive end Robert Quinn, who holds the team’s single-season sack record, was arrested Friday in his home state of South Carolina. It’s the second time he has been in legal trouble since leaving the NFL.

Police in North Charleston arrested Quinn, 34, around 2 a.m. and charged him with reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident with property damage. He was booked in county jail around 7 a.m. and released in the afternoon with a court date of Feb. 27.

The police report indicated officers responded to a call at a car dealership reporting a collision. Police reported Quinn had facial injuries, slurred speech and was uncooperative when they asked for his driver’s license.

The report said Quinn was in the passenger seat of a white Dodge Challenger that had its reverse lights on when the police arrived. The woman driving that car told officers, per the report, that she met Quinn at a gentleman’s club where she worked, and he called her to pick him up.

Police said a maroon Ford F-150 registered to Quinn was nearby and had visible damage.

The report said officers used city cameras to determine that Quinn’s Ford F-150 hit the passenger side of a Honda Element, which was knocked into another F-150, which crashed into a Chrysler 300. Police said the cameras did not show the first collision, but there was audio of it. Video showed Quinn’s truck driving at that time, crossing an intersection, a median and then driving onto the car dealership’s property.
...

Quinn also was arrested in 2023 in Summerville, S.C., and charged with third-degree assault and battery, hit-and-run of an attended vehicle and four counts of hit-and-run property damage. Those charges either were continued or are pending, per court records.

Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy's assault charge dismissed following further investigation

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy's assault charge has been dismissed, according to jail records obtained by NFL Media.
...

District Attorney Shawn Dick told the Austin-American Statesman on Saturday that the office made the decision not to accept the case "pending completion of the investigation by the Williamson County Sheriff's Office" after speaking with multiple witnesses.

"We will continue to evaluate the case," Dick said in an email to the Austin-American Statesman. "As is our practice with all declines, should you develop additional information indicative of probable cause in this case, our office will consider that information and may present the case at that time to a Williamson County Grand Jury."

Following Worthy's initial arrest, his attorneys, Chip Lewis and Sam Bassett, provided NFL Media with the following statement Saturday: "We are aware of the allegation that led to Mr. Worthy's arrest. We are working with law enforcement in Williamson County to ensure they have the benefit of the totality of circumstances that led to this allegation. The complainant was asked multiple times over the last two weeks to vacate Mr. Worthy's residence upon discovery of her infidelity, which a private investigator has video evidence of. She has refused to vacate the residence and made a number of extortive efforts prior to resorting to this baseless allegation against Mr. Worthy. The complainant further destroyed a room in the residence, scratched Mr. Worthy's face and ripped out parts of his hair, which there is photographic evidence of. Mr. Worthy told law enforcement at the time of the incident he did not want to press charges against the complainant. We will continue to cooperate with Williamson County authorities as we have full faith their thorough investigation will support Mr. Worthy's innocence."
