<p style="font-weight: 400;">A former <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nfl">NFL</a> player was arrested in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/florida">Florida</a> Friday after allegedly pulling a gun on two off-duty police officers who he accused of taking his parking spot.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Orson Charles, 31, who played tight end for four NFL teams during a five-year career, allegedly walked up to the officers’ car, yanked open the driver’s side door, and pointed a gun at them during the incident, <a href="https://www.wtsp.com/article/news/crime/gun-law-enforcement-parking-spot-ybor/67-a4d9837e-9114-4897-ab26-7729a7f34c61">according to WTSP</a>. The off-duty officers said they had just parked in a space on the street in Tampa’s historic Ybor City district when an incensed Charles approached.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">&#8220;What (are) you trying to do?&#8221; Charles said while brandishing the gun, according to police.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The officers said they showed the hulking former athlete their badges, but he took no notice.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">“I don&#8217;t give a f***, I have one in the head,” Charles allegedly told the cops before cursing at them.</p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">Charles was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed firearm, and introduction of contraband into a detention facility. He was being held in jail on a $6,250 bond, according to the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The officers did not attempt to arrest Charles on the scene, instead leaving the space and calling in the incident, according to police.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Charles, a fourth-round pick by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012, grew up in Tampa and played his college ball at the University of Georgia. He was arrested for a DUI a month before the draft, and again two years later after a road rage incident in which the victim said Charles had pulled a gun on him.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">The 6-foot, 3-inch, 257-pound receiver played two seasons with the Bengals, then was out of football for two seasons. He caught on the Detroit Lions in 2016, then played a year each for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Cleveland Browns. He has not played since 2018. For his career, Charles recorded 14 catches for 185 yards and no touchdowns.</p>
