Video After The Jump
CLEVELAND (AP) — Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Malik McDowell, who was given a second chance by the team after serving jail time, was arrested Monday in Florida on charges of beating a police officer & public exposure.
Police in Deerfield Beach, Florida, said they were responding to a “naked male walking near a school” when an officer approached McDowell, who was sitting on a curb. The officer said McDowell stood up, uttered an obscenity at him & “charged at me full speed with a closed fist.”
The officer said he was unable to avoid McDowell’s attack or use any “de-escalation tactics.” McDowell slammed into the officer & punched him in the right eye & on the top of the head.
McDowell fled before he was stopped using a stun gun & handcuffed. The officer said his right eye was nearly closed because of swelling from the punches he absorbed in the attack & there is a “likelihood that I sustained permanent injury to my eye.”
McDowell was charged with aggravated battery on an officer, resisting an officer/obstructing with violence & exposure of sex organs in public. Bail was posted at $25,000.
McDowell came to the Browns with a troubled past.
A second-round pick by Seattle in 2017 out of Michigan State, the 6-foot-6, 290-pounder never played for the Seahawks after suffering a brain injury in an ATV accident that was followed by several arrests & an 11-month stay in a Michigan jail.
