A series of 911 calls on Monday revealed the bizarre scene that unfolded in Deerfield Beach, Fla., resulting in the arrest of Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Malik McDowell, who was seen walking naked near a preschool before eventually attacking a deputy.
McDowell, 25, was charged with one count of aggravated battery on an officer, resisting arrest and public exposure after the NFL player was seen walking around several buildings naked and at one point appeared to lay down in the middle of a road, according to police records obtained by Fox News.

One caller can be heard telling another employee in what initially was identified as a learning center, that the building was going into lockdown.
"You’re gonna go into lockdown," the caller said. "You’re going to have to take these kids into the bathroom, OK."
The woman informed dispatch that McDowell was "completely naked," and he could be seen "walking up and down in front of the building."
"Help them get in their safe places," she said right before hanging up the phone.
A second caller, who identified the facility as a preschool, depicted a similar scene.
"He’s just laying down in the parking lot," he said. "Now he’s at the front of the preschool."
