University of Tennessee football player has been charged with aggravated assault after allegedly pointing a toy weapon at another motorist on Interstate 40 Sunday.

The other driver turned out to be a law enforcement officer.

Marsalous Johnson, a 20-year-old defensive back from Smyrna, was charged in Putnam County and was being held on a $10,000 bond.

He appeared in court Monday morning and his case was continued to Sept. 6, according to Putnam County authorities.

Johnson, a redshirt freshman, was expected to provide depth at cornerback this fall.

According to a warrant Johnson was traveling east on I-40 when he became upset with another driver, Michael Hoover, who is listed as a Tennessee Wildlife Resources Officer.

Johnson allegedly pulled alongside Hoover’s vehicle and "pointed what appeared to be (a) weapon" at Hoover and a passenger in Hoover’s vehicle.

Johnson was subsequently stopped and the toy weapon was found under the passenger seat.
