Sources with direct knowledge tell us … Peterson was slated to have a City Attorney hearing in Los Angeles on April 29 — but the former Minnesota Vikings running back and prosecutors met beforehand to resolve the matter.
We’re told prosecutors declined to criminally charge Peterson … and Adrian agreed to complete 20 sessions of domestic violence and alcohol counseling within the next 6 months.
It’s a huge deal for A.P. — because, as we previously reported, he could have been hit with misdemeanor charges for his alleged role in an altercation on a plane with his wife on Super Bowl Sunday back in February.
You’ll recall, Peterson was thrown in jail after cops say Ashley Brown Peterson sustained a small mark on her hand following the alleged incident.
Peterson had denied ever getting physical with her — saying, “We just had a disagreement.”
The L.A. County District Attorney’s Office declined to charge the 36-year-old with a felony just days after the arrest … but kicked the case over to the L.A. City Attorney for possible misdemeanor charges.
But, it seems like now Peterson will be able to put the whole thing behind him.
