Myles Jack, a former NFL defensive standout, was hit with weapons charges after a bizarre scenario landed him in custody.
According to a press release, Jack was arrested shortly after 7 a.m. in Frisco, Texas, after officers responded to his home regarding a welfare issue.
When officers arrived at the home around 5:40 a.m., gunshots could be heard, prompting them to set up a perimeter and evacuate nearby homes. Jack then broke out of a second-floor window and fell to the ground outside, authorities said.

He has been charged with deadly conduct/discharge of a firearm, a third-degree felony, and discharge of a firearm in certain municipalities, a misdemeanor.
