The Cleveland Browns defensive tackle doesn’t have a single strand of cloth on his body when he’s arrested for attacking an officer and public exposure in Florida.
AceShowbiz -New evidence has supported reports of Malik McDowell‘s public indecency. The NFL star was caught completely naked in a newly-surfaced video after he was arrested on Monday, January 17 in Florida.
In the footage obtained by TMZ, the Cleveland Browns player appeared agitated with cops as he was sitting on the ground with no single piece of clothing on. His hands were cuffed on the back and he had shackles around his ankles.
At one point, an officer was seen kicking Malik to keep him on the ground. He also briefly resisted when officers seemingly tried to put his shoes on. He was eventually loaded onto a stretcher and taken away from the scene.
On Monday, a Broward County sheriff’s deputy responded to a report of a naked man walking near a school in Deerfield Beach, according to the arrest report. When they found him and confronted him, he allegedly looked up at the deputy and told him “f**k you.”
One officer claimed Malik attacked him. “The defendant then charged at me with at full speed (sic) with closed fist,” the report detailed. The officer said that due to proximity he was unable to avoid the attack or to use de-escalation tactics or a nonlethal weapon.
“The defendant intentionally rammed his body into me and began swinging closed fist punches at me,” the officer said. “The punches were swung with extreme aggression with at least one strike hitting me on my right eye/temple area of my eye.”
The officer said he was dazed and felt extreme pain where he was struck, and that the defensive tackle continued the “violent attack” by landing strikes to the top of his head. He claimed he suffered injuries, including a badly swollen eye, as a result of the attack.
Malik allegedly fled and was eventually taken down with a taser. He was later booked into jail on charges of public exposure, battery on a law enforcement officer and obstruction of justice with violence for resisting arrest. His bond was set at $31,000 for all three charges.
The Browns has released a statement after the athlete’s arrest. “We are aware of the very concerning incident and arrest involving Malik McDowell and are in the process of gathering more information,” a spokesperson for the team said on Tuesday. “We understand the severity of this matter and our thoughts are for the well-being of all involved. … No further comment at this time.”
