Police contacted McDowell after a call came in that a man was allegedly naked near a school, and he proceeded to allegedly get in a physical altercation with a responding officer.

You can watch a video shared by TMZ of McDowell being taken into custody, but be warned he doesn’t appear to be clothed!
As always, McDowell has every right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. That’s our system here in America, and we should all be thankful for it.
Having said that, if McDowell is guilty of fighting a police officer while allegedly walking around naked, he needs the book thrown at him.
As a society, we simply can’t tolerate that kind of behavior.

When the police come up to you, it’s time to listen. You can figure out everything else later in court. What you don’t do is allegedly start fighting them.
That’s a great way to hand up in handcuffs and behind bars.

We’ll see how it all shakes out with the authorities, but it’s clearly a very serious situation.
