Ex-Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson pleads not guilty in gun case, report says

Former Seahawks quarterback Tarvaris Jackson has pleaded not guilty after being charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection with an incident that happened last month in Florida, according to a report.

TMZ Sports reported Tuesday that Jackson’s lawyer had entered the plea Friday in Osceola County.

Last week, Jackson, 33, claimed he didn’t have enough money to pay for an attorney for his defense, according to court records. But as TMZ reported and court records viewed by The Times showed, judge Hal C. Epperson denied Jackson’s request for a public defender.
