A former quarterback for the Seahawks was arrested in Kissimmee Friday morning after allegedly pulling a gun on his wife.Tarvaris Jackson, 33, posted a $2,500 bond and was released from jail on Friday.Deputies said Jackson was visiting family at a home in Kissimmee when the incident occurred.Several children were inside during the incident, officials said.Jackson is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.According to the arrest report WESH 2 News obtained, Jackson was allegedly drunk as he loaded the 9mm caliber handgun and pointed it at his wife, repeatedly saying, "I'll kill you.""She felt fearful and she thought he could kill her," said Twis Lizasuain with the Osceola County Sheriff's Office.Osceola County deputies said the incident took place while Jackson was visiting family and friends at the Regal Oaks Resort. The arrest report said children were asleep inside the home as the victim grabbed a kitchen knife to defend herself."She eventually put that knife down, but when he came out with a gun, she went upstairs, grabbed an iron to try to protect herself," Lizasuain said.The reports state that the victim told the NFL free agent, "You better be accurate because you ain't accurate on the field."But before he was able to pull the trigger, someone else in the home got ahold of Jackson to stop him. When deputies arrived, they said Jackson first denied having the gun, then changed his story, claiming he wasn't going to use it. But deputies could see the gun on the kitchen counter, where they also found marijuana."It was because of his inconsistent statements, as well as the evidence, that he was arrested," Lizasuain said.The arrest report also states there may have been prior disputes between Jackson and his wife.
