Free agent NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is facing a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after allegedly threatening a woman in Florida, the Osceola County Sheriff's Office said.

According to an arrest report first obtained by WESH 2 News in Orlando, Florida, Jackson was staying at a vacation home in the Regal Oaks Resort and came back to the unit drunk at around midnight Friday. He kicked in the upstairs bedroom door, according to the arrest report -- details of which were reported in the Orlando Sentinel -- and began yelling at the woman, who went downstairs and grabbed a knife.
