Former Panthers player arrested in York County days before signing with new team

ROCK HILL, S.C. (WBTV) - A former Panthers defensive end was arrested last week, just days before signing with a new team.

Records showed 32-year-old Jadeveon Clowney was charged with trespassing and failure to identify. He was apprehended on Friday, Sept. 12, two days before signing with the Dallas Cowboys.

What happened

The encounter reportedly occurred around 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 12, at the Dunbar Place Apartments, located off Constitution Boulevard in Rock Hill.

According to the incident report, an officer had been assigned to prevent nonresidents from parking in the apartment complex during a high school football game across the street.

At some point, Clowney attempted to park in the lot, allegedly telling officers he was “probably going to the football game.” When authorities informed him that he couldn’t park there, Clowney reportedly replied that it didn’t matter because his aunt lived in the complex.

Reports stated that the officer informed Clowney he could not park there because he did not live at the residence, and that his car would be towed if he did. Clowney allegedly refused to comply and questioned the officers’ authority to tow his vehicle.

“Clowney became highly argumentative, boisterous, and talked loudly over the reporting officer, repeatedly preventing the reporting officer from explaining that he was going to be issued a trespass warning for the complex,” a police report read.

Officers asked Clowney for identification and informed him that he would be issued a trespassing warning, but he refused. One officer then reportedly warned that Clowney would be arrested for failure to identify if he continued to withhold his ID.

“Clowney never attempted to drive away, although stating at least twice that he was trying to leave, but instead, he continued to argue, talk over the reporting officer, and display a defiant attitude,” the police report continued.

Bills WR Officially Benched After Repeatedly Showing Up Late to Team Meetings - This Is His Fifth Time Being Late, He Was Reportedly Intoxicated
SHOCKING news out of Orchard Park: The Buffalo Bills have indefinitely benched their former second-round wide receiver after yet another disciplinary incident. Sources inside One Bills Drive confirm this marks the FIFTH time in the 2025 season the player has been late to a team meeting — and the latest offense was the final straw: he reportedly showed up reeking of alcohol. Moments after Monday’s team meeting, head coach Sean McDermott addressed the media with a tone that left no room for interpretation: “The Buffalo Bills will not tolerate disrespect toward this football team, disrespect toward your teammates, and disrespect toward yourself. We’ve given chances, we’ve had private conversations, we’ve done everything we can. At this point, enough is enough. When you walk into this building, you represent an entire city and an entire fan base. We cannot and will not accept this any longer.” That player? None other than Keon Coleman — the once-hyped Florida State product drafted in the second round of 2024 to be Josh Allen’s next big-play weapon. From “generational talent” to full-blown headache in less than two seasons: Incidents 1–2: Late to meetings → internal warnings Incident 3: Benched for two full games in November 2025 Incident 4: Seen dancing on the sideline while serving that benching Incident 5: Showed up late AGAIN… and allegedly intoxicated → indefinitely removed from the active roster Just weeks ago, Bills Hall of Famer Andre Reed spent nearly two hours on the phone trying to mentor the 22-year-old, but it now appears the message fell on deaf ears. With no Bills receiver currently on pace for even 760 yards this season and the room already paper-thin after the Amari Cooper and Brandin Cooks additions, losing Keon Coleman — even for non-football reasons — is a gut punch. Bills Mafia is LIVID. Many are already calling for the front office to cut their losses, just like they did with first-round bust Kaiir Elam and second-round flop Boogie Basham. The million-dollar question now: Is this the end of Keon Coleman in Buffalo, or will Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane give him one final lifeline? Drop your take in the comments: Keep Keon and hope he grows up… or ship him out TODAY? 👇🔥
