Former NFL quarterback Tarvaris Jackson is claiming he has no money to pay for an attorney after being arrested for pointing a gun at his wife.

Jackson, who has earned around $12 million during his career, told the judge needed a public defender because he has absolutely no money to pay any legal costs that might be associated with the case, but the judge rejected his argument, according to TMZ Sports.
