The alleged incident took place at Pines Park. As WHNT explains, according to information from eyewitnesses, officers ordered McClain and several others to leave the park when a large crowd was gathering.
McClain was not receptive to the order. He reportedly refused while using some expletives. He was handcuffed and transported to jail before being bonded out.
This, of course, is not the first time McClain has found himself in a bit of legal hot water. In 2011, he made headlines when he was arrested, and eventually convicted, for assault and other charges "when he allegedly threatened to kill a man and fired a gun next to his head."
He was arrested again this past January after he was pulled over for his window tinting. He had some more colorful language for the authorities when signing the ticket, which got him in trouble for providing a false name.
All three of those arrests have come at the hands of the Decatur police.
When taken on their own, Rolando McClain's past two arrests would not be a huge cause for concern. He apparently feels that he is being treated unjustly by the authorities, and the incidents would likely not have landed him in any trouble had he cooperated.
However, these incidents can't be taken on their own, and the former No. 8 overall selection is a player who is trying to salvage his NFL career after being released by the Raiders earlier this offseason.
