1:22 PM PT — TMZ Sports has obtained Jadeveon Clowney’s mug shot.

We’ve also gotten a hold of the police report related to the NFL star’s arrest … and it states Clowney was taken into custody after he got into a dispute while trying to find parking near a high school football game.

The docs state Clowney argued with a cop while searching for a spot — and refused to provide an ID.

🚨 Jadeveon Clowney foi preso em Rock Hill, Carolina do Sul, no dia 12 de setembro, sob acusações de invasão de propriedade e recusa em se identificar, ambas consideradas infrações menores.

“Reporting officer requested Clowney’s identification at least twice during the incident which Clowney repeatedly refused to provide,” police wrote in the docs. “Reporting officer advised Clowney that he was under arrest for trespassing and failure to ID.”

Clowney, meanwhile, addressed the incident with Dallas Cowboys media members on Friday and said he’s ready to “move on from it.”

Jadeveon Clowney was arrested last week … just a couple days before he signed a contract to play for the Dallas Cowboys.

According to police reports, obtained by WSOC-TV, cops confronted Clowney in York County, S.C. on Sept. 12 … after the star pass rusher allegedly tried to park in a closed lot.

The docs state even though the football player was told he could not park there, he did it anyway — and he was ultimately arrested on two misdemeanor charges … one count of trespassing and one count of failure to identify.

Further details surrounding the incident have not been made available — TMZ Sports has reached out to the Rock Hill Police Department multiple times on Friday for comment, but we’ve yet to hear back.

Clowney — who played high school football in Rock Hill, S.C. before starring at the Univ. of South Carolina — officially agreed to play for the Cowboys on Sept. 15.

It’s unclear if Dallas knew of the arrest before he signed.

Clowney — the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft — last played in the 2024 season for the Carolina Panthers and could make his Dallas debut on Sunday when the Cowboys play a road game vs. the Bears.
