Dallas Cowboys fullback Deon Anderson has been charged with misdemeanor deadly conduct after his arrest in a suburban restaurant parking lot.

A warrant issued Wednesday charged the 27-year-old Anderson for an incident early Tuesday at a restaurant in the Dallas suburb of Addison. He could be sentenced to up to a year in jail and fined up to $4,000.

He was freed on bond a few hours after his arrest early Tuesday.

The arrest affidavit says a parking valet claimed Anderson threatened him with a gun after having car problems and blaming the valet. Police found the loaded gun in nearby shrubs with a round chambered.

Anderson's 25-year-old brother, Devon, was also arrested for public intoxication.

A message left with the Cowboys on Wednesday hasn't been returned.
