Pontiac — Legal problems are mounting for former Spartan football standout and NFL washout Malik McDowell.
The troubled defensive lineman was stopped for suspicion of drunken driving in February and allegedly fought with two Lathrup Village police officers who tried to arrest him, according to a police report obtained by The Detroit News.
Then, two months later, he was charged with receiving and concealing stolen property: a $74,000 Ford F-150 Raptor pickup he claimed to have bought off the street, according to police.
McDowell, who turned 23 this month, is to appear Thursday in Oakland County Circuit Court, where he has been ordered to stand trial on charges in both cases.
