On December 1, 2011, McClain was arrested by Decatur police and charged with third-degree assault, menacing, reckless endangerment, and discharging a firearm inside the city limits, all of which are misdemeanors, for a shooting incident that occurred the night before.[41][42] On May 17, 2012, McClain was found guilty on all counts, ordered to pay a $500 fine for each charge, totaling $2,000, and sentenced to spend 45 days in jail for each charge, 180 in total. He was freed on bond, and will begin serving his sentence on June 1.[43] On November 18, 2012, while the case was on appeal, the charges were dismissed by the Judge after the victim decided not to press charges. According to lawyers involved, a financial settlement was reached between McClain and the victim.[44]

On January 8, 2013, he was arrested by Decatur Police in Morgan County after an officer pulled him over for a window tint violation. McClain provided the officer with a false name and he was arrested and booked into the Decatur City Jail. McClain bonded out of jail later that day.[45]

On April 21, 2013, McClain was arrested for disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.[46]

Between his departure from the Ravens in May 2013 and his return to football with the Dallas Cowboys in July 2014, McClain moved to Tuscaloosa, where he re-enrolled at the University of Alabama to try to finish his bachelor's degree in family financial planning.[22] He was still a few credits short of the degree when he joined the Dallas Cowboys. He eventually graduated with his degree in December 2017

On December 22, 2014, he lost his Tuscaloosa house due to a fire that was eventually ruled as an arson.[47] At the time, the house was vacant and listed for sale.

On August 2, 2016, after his suspension in June 2016 for violating the NFL substance abuse policy, it was reported that McClain had become addicted to codeine after consuming the mixture known as purple drank.[31][32]

On May 12, 2017, he was arrested on equipment violations, firearm and drug charges, according to the Hartselle Police Department.[48]

Career gump thug. Lock him up

First thing I thought too. Why are we still arresting people for marijuana?

Did y'all miss the part where it said he had a gun that was not his and it was concealed without a permit? Not saying I agree with the permit law, but it is the law.

So are yall saying being stone and/or smoking weed while driving shouldn't be a crime like if the cop had smelled alcohol?

Hell...frick all those little towns west of Decatur nothing but speed traps. Town Creek, Rogersville, etc. But this guy will always have problems, Daddy Saban can't get his butt out of this sling.

I lived in Morgan County for 29 years and worked all over Lawrence County. I probably know it better than my home county. Hillsboro, North Courtland and Town Creek are notorious speed traps. Moulton is a backwoods good ol boy town. The sheriff’s department also has always been corrupt.

Tide Humpers (and Larry) dropping the down votes!

Amazing how it works out in your favor if you cooperate with the authorities.

Alabama passed constitutional carry early this year and goes into effect on January 1. I had just paid for my 5-year concealed permit before it passed! Lol. Oh, well. Might still need it if traveling to other states.

Not a Constitutional right to own a firearm. The 2nd amendment prevents the government from infringing on our natural right to bear arms. Remember if the government grants us the right they also have the power to take away that right. Madison and other founding fathers created the Bill of Rights to ensure certain natural rights could not be infringed upon by the government. Hence why gun debate is such a huge topic because according to the Constitution the government does not have the right to prevent us from owning a gun.

constitutionally protected right.
