Saints TE Orson Charles sentenced to diversion period in road rage case

New Orleans Saints tight end Orson Charles was sentenced to a two-year diversion period Friday for a road range incident from last April in Kentucky, according to WKYT-TV in Lexington, Kentucky.

Charles pleaded guilty to wanton endangerment charges after being accused of pointing a gun at another driver who made an obscene gesture at him.

Charles spent last season on the Saints’ practice squad before joining the 90-man roster this offseason. He began his career as a fourth-round draft pick of the Cincinnati Bengals in 2012 and was with the Bengals at the time of his arrest.
