DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Malik McDowell, a defensive tackle for the Cleveland Browns, has been arrested on charges of public exposure and beating a deputy in a “violent attack” that left the officer “dazed,” according to an arrest report.
The deputy said McDowell “charged at me ... at full speed with closed fist,” leaving the deputy injured, the report said.
The Broward Sheriff’s Office arrested McDowell in Deerfield Beach on Monday on charges of exposing himself in public, resisting arrest with violence and battery on a law enforcement officer.
