A former NFL football player and Matawan Regional High School standout got a sword out of his car during an altercation at a youth event and threatened to kill a parent and his children, according to a police report.

John "Charlie" Rogers Jr., 42, was charged with making terroristic threats, stalking and weapons offenses following the Oct. 5 altercation at the Matawan-Aberdeen Middle School.

The incident happened in the rear parking lot of the school in the presence of children, according to the affidavit of probable cause.

Rogers, who played five seasons in the NFL from 1999-2003, was also under the influence of drugs or alcohol during the altercation, the report states.

Aberdeen police Chief John Powers said Rogers turned himself in on Monday and was taken to the Monmouth County jail in Freehold. He was released on Tuesday with certain conditions, according to a Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office spokesman.

The arrest comes six weeks after an Asbury Park Press report revealed that Rogers left a profanity-laced voicemail in September to the parent of a player. The player had left a Matawan youth football team, where Rogers was a coach, for a team in East Brunswick.

Following the report, Rogers was banned from the Jersey Shore American Youth Football league and fired from his job as the offensive coordinator at St. John Vianney High School in Holmdel.

In 2003, Rogers was sued by an Old Bridge police officer after he resisted arrest following a fight in a gentlemen's club parking lot on Route 35. Rogers, then a 26-year-old wide receiver with the Buffalo Bills, was charged with aggravated assault, making terroristic threats, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, according to a report in the local newspaper.

It's unclear what the result of the charges and the lawsuit was.

Before he was drafted in 1999 by the Seattle Seahawks, Rogers played football at Georgia Tech. He also played for the Houston Texans and Miami Dolphins.
