Dallas Cowboys cornerback Marquez White faces a felony charge after pulling out a gun in an apparent road-rage incident in October.

White, 23, was indicted June 7 on one count of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. He is currently free on $7,500 bond, according to jail records.

The incident began on the Dallas North Tollway in Plano on Oct. 20, according to White.

In a statement posted on his private Instagram account, White wrote that he encountered an "aggressive driver" while exiting near Tennyson Parkway.

White said the other driver was following him closely, then pulled up next to him and yelled threats and racial slurs.

"Simultaneously while doing this he began to reach towards his glove box and that is when I flashed my weapon," White said in the statement.

White said the other driver followed him home and called police. He was not arrested at the time but learned last month that a felony warrant had been issued for his arrest.

The Plano police incident report describes White's behavior as deadly conduct, a misdemeanor. But police say the two men's accounts differed. White says he merely showed the gun, but the other man says it was pointed at him, so police referred the case to a grand jury. It chose to indict White for a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

White wrote that he and his attorneys "believe strongly that this a personal attack on my image as well as the Star" — the Cowboys' logo.

Defense attorney Toby Shook told KDFW-TV (Channel 4) that White legally owns the gun.

The Cowboys drafted White out of Florida State University in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL draft. He spent the season on the team's practice squad and signed a futures contract in January.
