Ex-Seahawk McDowell facing multiple charges
Former Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Malik McDowell is facing charges for assault, resisting arrest, and operating a vehicle while intoxicated, stemming from a February incident where he allegedly fought with two officers, according to a police report obtained by ESPN's Brady Henderson.
The incident occurred after McDowell was stopped on suspicion of drunk driving in Michigan. He also faces a separate charge of receiving and concealing stolen property from April, per court records.
According to the February report, the police officer attempted to arrest McDowell when he walked into the gas station, where the 23-year-old "began actively fighting" him.
The Michigan State product never got a chance to start his NFL career as he suffered multiple injuries - including a concussion and facial injuries - in an ATV accident a few weeks before his rookie camp in 2017. Seattle released him this past March.
McDowell was the Seahawks' first selection in the 2017 draft, going off the board 35th overall.
