Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Dwight Smith was arrested and charged with pulling a pellet gun on two fans who approached his car while waiting at a McDonald's drive thru window.

Smith, a star in the Super Bowl two years ago, was inside his car with a friend at 4 a.m. when a woman in the car ahead of them recognized the player, the Hillsborough County sheriff's office said.

Two passengers in the car, Trevor Boyce Jr., 19, and Javier Joseph Jr., 22, approached Smith's car and tried to talk to him, officials added. Smith became annoyed and drew the pellet gun but did not shoot it. David Roston, Smith's 26-year-old friend, got out of the car and punched Boyce, officials said.

Boyce and Joseph got back in their car and called 911. Deputies arrived and arrested Smith, charging him with aggravated assault with a weapon. Roston was charged with battery.
