Former NFL tight end Orson Charles was arrested early Saturday morning in Ybor City, Fla. after pulling a gun on two off-duty police officers during a dispute about a parking space late Friday, according to WTSP.
Charles, 31, faces three felony charges, including aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a concealed firearm. He was also found to be in possession of a misdemeanor amount of marijuana, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
The Tampa Police Department said in a news release that two off-duty law enforcement officers were attempting to park in a parking space when Charles exited his vehicle and walked towards the officers’ car after missing out on the spot himself. Charles then reportedly opened the door on the driver’s side to talk with the officers and pulled a gun out from under his shirt.
