Former Seahawks second round pick Malik McDowell arrested in Florida

In another tragic turn in what already has been a nightmarish start to his NFL career, Malik McDowell was arrested Tuesday after allegedly walking by a children’s learning center naked and assaulting a police officer in Broward County, Florida.

ESPN has the details:

According to the arrest report, McDowell beat a deputy in a “violent attack” that left the officer “dazed” and fearing a “permanent injury” to his right eye. McDowell is being held on a $27,000 bond, according to the online record.

“We are aware of the very concerning incident and arrest involving Malik McDowell and are in the process of gathering more information,” a Browns spokesperson said in a statement.
