Former Super Bowl champion Cordarrelle Patterson allegedly grabbed his wife by the hair and arm during a domestic dispute, leaving her bruised and afraid for her safety.
According to an arrest warrant obtained by TMZ, police responded to a Tennessee home on October 17 after a report of a domestic disturbance. The warrant states that Patterson’s wife told officers the former NFL star physically assaulted her shortly before she called 911, grabbing her by the hair and her left upper arm.
The responding officer said he saw bruising on her left bicep that matched her account, and that she voiced fear for both her own safety and that of her children.
Police separated the couple during the investigation, and Patterson was ultimately arrested on a domestic assault charge. He was released from the Sevier County jail the same day on a $1,000 bond.
The four-time Pro Bowl running back and kick return specialist was arrested early Saturday morning in Tennessee, and he was seen grinning in his mugshot.
Patterson played for six NFL teams over his career and won a Super Bowl with the New England Patriots in 2019. Between 2013 and 2024, he also suited up for the Minnesota Vikings, Oakland Raiders, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers.
