Browns DL Malik McDowell Arrested While Naked In Florida

The incident report states that when officers arrived, McDowell allegedly beat a deputy in a "violent attack" that left the officer "dazed."

The report says McDowell charged at police "full speed with a closed fist," leaving a deputy injured, before trying to flee but was eventually was shocked with a Taser and handcuffed.

McDowell is being held on a $27,000 bond, according to the jail's inmate search at the time of publication.

"We are aware of the very concerning incident and arrest involving Malik McDowell and are in the process of gathering more information," the Browns said in a statement. "We understand the severity of this matter and our thoughts are for the well-being of all involved. We will have no further comment at this time."
