Following McDowell's arrest in November, the Escambia County Sheriff's Office posted a photo of his mugshot, which quickly surpassed 264,000 shares given the inmate's particularly wide neck. As McDowell looks at the camera with his head tilted slightly, his neck surpasses the width of his head. 

McDowell took to social media following his release in November to thank all the fans responsible for his Internet fame. He also quickly joined in on the "wideneck" jokes, posting a few memes of his own.
