Former NFL star and Super Bowl champion Cordarrelle Patterson has been arrested on a domestic assault charge in Tennessee.
The four-time Pro Bowl running back and return specialist was booked into the Sevier County Jail early on Saturday morning, according to TMZ Sports.
In a police mugshot, Patterson, who lifted the Vince Lombardi Trophy with the Patriots at Super Bowl LIII, was seen grinning broadly at the camera.
Details regarding the circumstances that led to Patterson’s arrest and the specific allegations against him were not immediately clear.
The Daily Mail has contacted the Sevierville Police Department for comment.
Patterson, 35, enjoyed a successful collegiate stint in the state after transferring to the University of Tennessee in 2012.

His standout campaign with the Volunteers led to him being selected in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings.
He went on to play for the Oakland Raiders, New England Patriots, Chicago Bears, Atlanta Falcons and Pittsburgh Steelers throughout his NFL career.
Patterson left an indelible mark on the league during his playing career and still holds the NFL record for the longest kickoff return touchdown in NFL history at 109 yards.
He was also the first NFL player to have a 100-yard kickoff return touchdown, a 75-yard touchdown catch, and a 50-yard rushing touchdown in the same season (2013).
He holds the all-time league record for the most kickoff return touchdowns in NFL history with nine scores over his career.
Meanwhile, his nine kickoff return touchdowns are the most in NFL history.
His greatest team achievement came during the 2018 campaign with the New England Patriots, where he played a crucial role in lifting the Vince Lombardi Trophy.
He recorded two receptions for 14 yards, a 38-yard kick return and seven rushing yards as the Patriots defeated the Los Angeles Rams by a score of 13-3.
