McDowell has had several run-ins with the law, including a DUI in September 2017 and a disorderly conduct charge in December 2017. He was charged with driving while intoxicated, resisting arrest, and assault in February 2019. He was suspended for two games by the league.
According to the police report, McDowell is still on probation in Michigan, which will create a new set of legal issues for him.
