Charles McDowell, widely known as “Wide Neck” from his viral mugshot, is back in police custody—this time facing serious charges related to sending explicit content to a minor.
According to an arrest warrant obtained by TMZ, McDowell is accused of distributing sexually explicit videos of a woman, without her consent, to her 13-year-old son, 16-year-old daughter, mother, and another individual through cell phones and laptops on multiple occasions.
The Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia confirmed that McDowell was arrested on February 19 and charged with multiple felonies, including felony transmission of nude images without consent, electronically furnishing obscene material to a minor, and making harassing phone calls. Due to Georgia law protecting information related to child abuse cases, authorities have not provided additional details about the allegations.
McDowell is currently being held without bond, and his latest mugshot once again showcases the large neck that made him an internet sensation years ago.
This isn’t McDowell’s first run-in with the law. He first went viral in 2018 after being arrested in Lee County, Alabama, for allegedly attempting to elude police during a reckless driving incident. His unusual mugshot, featuring his abnormally thick neck, quickly turned him into a social media phenomenon. However, his newfound internet fame didn’t keep him out of trouble—he has since been arrested multiple times on charges including drug possession (marijuana, cocaine, and meth) and driving with a revoked license.
