Former NFL player Jadeveon Clowney arrested for trespassing and failing to identify near a high school game, then signed with the Cowboys days later.

Jadeveon Clowney, a former NFL No. 1 overall pick and Dallas Cowboys defensive end, was arrested on September 12 in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on trespassing and failure to identify charges. The incident occurred near a high school football game when officers, including an off-duty officer, prevented him from parking at a restricted apartment complex, citing safety and access rules. Clowney, who said he was visiting his aunt, argued with officers, refused to show identification, and remained in his vehicle despite warnings. He was taken into custody, jailed briefly, and released on bond. Two days after his arrest, he signed with the Cowboys and was expected to play in an upcoming game against the Chicago Bears.
