Cowboys' White faces assault charges for brandishing gun in road rage incident; attorney says he's innocent

Dallas Cowboys cornerback Marquez White is facing a second-degree felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, according to Collin County court records.

White, 23, was indicted June 7 on one count and is currently free on a $7,500 bond. The charge stems from a road rage incident on the Dallas North Tollway in Plano on Oct. 20 in which White brandished a gun at a fellow driver.

But his attorney, Dallas-based Toby Shook, is confident the charge will be dropped.

"Marquez did everything legally,” Shook said. “He displayed a gun, but didn’t point it at this individual because he was very concerned with how this individual was making threats.
