Dallas Cowboys linebacker Damien Wilson was arrested Tuesday night and charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to Frisco, Texas, police.
Wilson was arrested at Toyota Stadium during Frisco's Freedom Fest. He was released from the Frisco Detention Center on a $10,000 bond for each count.
The case is still under investigation and the police did not release further information, including what kind of weapon was involved. A Cowboys spokesman said the team is aware of the situation and gathering information but would not comment at this time.
NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy told The Associated Press that the league is "looking into the matter to understand the facts."
Wilson could face sanctions from the NFL's personal conduct policy in the form of a fine or suspension even if a case is dropped.
He is the second Cowboy to be arrested this offseason. Cornerback Nolan Carroll was charged with DWI in late May when he was driving on the wrong side of the road. He could face a two-game suspension under the league's substance abuse policy
Wilson played in every game last season, making six starts at strong-side linebacker.
