Cincinnati Bengals fullback Orson Charles has been charged in Kentucky with pulling a gun during a road rage incident on a crowded interstate.
According to TMZ Sports, Charles is formally charged with wanton endangerment in the first degree after a man called police to report a man first cutting him off on I-75, then brandishing "a firearm toward him several times driving down the highway."

TMZ adds when police later confronted Charles, they found a silver and black Smith and Wesson, semi-automatic revolver in a bag in the back of the 2004 Nissan Murano he was driving.
Charles, who was prominently featured on the HBO reality show Hard Knocks, was held in custody overnight by police and later bonded out on Tuesday. In Kentucky, the charge of wanton endangerment is considered "conduct which creates a substantial danger of death or serious physical injury to another."

A month before the 2012 NFL draft, Charles was arrested and charged with DUI in Athens, Ga.
