Dallas Cowboys linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested during a Fourth of July celebration on Tuesday and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to Frisco (Texas) Police.

 

Wilson was arrested after he "intentionally backed his truck into a female while parking" at Toyota Stadium, home of FC Dallas of Major League Soccer. The 24-year-old Wilson then "brandished a rifle at another male, causing him to be in fear," according to the report.

Wilson was released on a $10,000 bond for each count.

He is the second member of the Cowboys' defense to be arrested this offseason. Cornerback Nolan Carroll, who was a free agent pickup from the Philadelphia Eagles, was charged with driving while intoxicated in May after he traveled down the wrong side of the road.

Wilson recorded 34 tackles and a half-sack in 16 games last season.
