Dallas Cowboys fullback Deon Anderson is accused of pulling a loaded gun on a man during an early-morning dispute outside an Addison restaurant earlier this week.
Addison police issued an arrest warrant for Anderson, 27, Wednesday afternoon on a charge of deadly conduct, a Class A misdemeanor. Anderson previously was arrested, jailed and released on outstanding Irving traffic warrants after the Tuesday-morning incident.
According to the arrest-warrant affidavit on the deadly conduct charge, Anderson was having problems with his vehicle about 2:15 a.m. outside the BlackFinn restaurant in the 4400 block of Belt Line Road near Midway Road.
He accused another man, 31-year-old Mekonnen Geji, of tampering with the vehicle, the affidavit said.
Geji "stated Anderson retrieved a handgun from the car and asked him why he was laughing," the affidavit said.
Police found the gun in nearby shrubs. It was loaded with a round chambered, the affidavit said.
Anderson's brother, Devon Anderson, 25, was arrested on a charge of public intoxication.
An Addison jail official said Deon Anderson was not there as of Wednesday evening.
Neither Anderson nor Cowboys officials could be reached for comment Wednesday night.
Under the NFL personal conduct policy, Anderson could face a fine or suspension.
