Former Seattle Seahawks QB Tarvaris Jackson was arrested last week on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon when he reportedly pulled a gun on his wife. If you thought that Jackson was just going to be "another one of these athletes or celebrities who buys their way out of jail" then think again.
According to TMZ, Jackson has claimed that he is too broke to afford an attorney. The request for a public defender was denied because apparently the judge doesn't believe that Jackson can't scrounge up enough for reasonable representation.
