Anderson Concerned
Tuesday Arrest Has Fullback Worried Over Job Security

Cowboys fullback Deon Anderson couldn't help but express frustration Wednesday as he walked into Valley Ranch, a day after being arrested in nearby Addison on outstanding traffic warrants.
The 27-year old starter admitted the early Tuesday incident outside a local restaurant and nightclub, which involved the confiscation of two guns from his car, had him concerned over his future with the team.
"I've got to call Jerry," Anderson said Wednesday morning, referring to team owner Jerry Jones. "I'm not trying to get kicked out of here."
A new warrant against Anderson in Addison was issued Wednesday for deadly conduct, a Class A misdemeanor.
Anderson was scheduled to meet with an attorney and post bond, at which point a court date would be set, with a maximum penalty of $4,000 in fines or up to a year in jail.
According to a statement released by the Addison police department, officers responded to a report of an aggravated assault at the BlackFinn restaurant at 4400 Belt Line Road early Tuesday. Officers on the scene were told of a confrontation between several men and a valet attendant in the parking lot.
Anderson said he was arrested on traffic warrants resulting from passing through a camera-enforced intersection red light in Irving. He said he was not aware of an outstanding warrant. Police seized two handguns, which Anderson said were a .9 MM and .38 special. Anderson said the weapons were not registered, though that does not subject him to penalty under Texas law.
The car Anderson was driving was impounded for further investigation, and Anderson's brother, 25-year old Devon was also arrested, on charges of public intoxication. The fullback was transferred to an Irving jail at 5:21 a.m., and was released two hours later after posting bond.
A three-year veteran from Connecticut, who the Cowboys selected in the sixth-round of the 2007 draft, Anderson has been the team's starting fullback since midway through his rookie season. Primarily a lead blocker on offense, Anderson is a core player on special teams, where he recorded 12 tackles in 2009.
He is only the second Cowboys player to be arrested since late 2005. Linebacker Anthony Spencer was held by police after a confrontation at an Indianapolis nightclub last year, but charges were later dropped.
