Orson Charles is finding out the hard way what happens when you lose your cool. The former NFL player is in trouble with the law after police say he threatened to shoot law enforcement officers Friday night while arguing over a parking space in Ybor City.
According to WTSP.com, the 31-year-old was driving one of two cars attempting to park in the same spot in Ybor City. After Charles lost out on the spot, he reportedly approached the driver’s side of the other vehicle and brandished a weapon.
“After the two law enforcement officers showed their badges to Charles, he ignored their credentials, cursed at them and said “I have one in the head,” according to an affidavit.
The affidavit said that the pair then drove away from the parking spot due to the risk of Charles shooting them.”
The fourth-round pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012 spent two seasons with the team, before practice squad stints with the Tennessee Titans and New Orleans Saints in 2014-15.
Charles then went on to play in two games with the Detroit Lions in 2016, five with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2017, and 13 with the Cleveland Browns in 2018.
