Jadeveon Clowney enters free agency this week, having cleared up a recent legal issue.
A case involving trespassing and an unidentified person against the NFL player has been dismissed, according to a spokesperson from the Rock Hill District Court. This follows a peculiar encounter he had with police in South Carolina last year.
The exact reasons for the case’s dismissal were not revealed. Although the local law firm acknowledged the outcome, they also didn’t provide further details.
Attempts to reach Clowney’s attorney, Todd Rutherford, did not get a response.
Clowney faced charges related to trespassing and unspecified misdemeanors after a disagreement with police regarding parking in Rock Hill on September 12, 2025.
As per the police report, he had parked in an apartment complex’s lot adjacent to a high school football field, which restricted entry for game attendees.
When officers asked for identification, Clowney declined, claiming his aunt resided there.
Originating from Rock Hill and a former South Point football player, Clowney was arrested and taken to a police station but was released shortly after.
He signed with the Cowboys shortly after the incident and, once acclimated to the team, expressed that he wasn’t worried about the odd situation.
“It’s been going on there forever. It’s nothing new. Just get out of there. I’m here now,” he mentioned in a press interaction.
In the 2025 season, Clowney played 13 games for the Cowboys, leading the squad with eight and a half sacks.
Currently, the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft remains without a contract.
