No arrests have been made.
McDonald was arrested in August on suspicion of felony domestic violence. His fiancee reported that McDonald attacked her, but the ensuing investigation did not find evidence that such an attack had occurred. No formal charge was ever made. Authorities dropped the case in November after concluding their investigation. McDonald was not suspended and remained on the 49ers active roster while police investigated the allegations.
