NFL veteran Jadeveon Clowney was arrested on Sept. 12 in Rock Hill, South Carolina, two days prior to signing with the Dallas Cowboys.
Clowney, 32, was arrested for trespassing and failure to identify, both misdemeanors charges, according to WSOC-TV 9.
Clowney was trying to park in a lot that was closed to parking, but proceeded to park there despite being told that parking was not allowed, according to police reports.
