Local police reported that the apartment complex has experienced parking issues during football games at the nearby District 3 stadium, which led to the presence of an off-duty officer monitoring the area. Clowney was approached by police when he attempted to park in a restricted zone. He claimed he was visiting his aunt, but officers informed him he could not park there.
Clowney refused to show his identification to the officers, resulting in a confrontation that escalated to his arrest. As the situation unfolded, he engaged in a debate with the police regarding his right to park in the area.
