Charles Dion McDowell — better known as the notorious “Wide Neck” perpetrator on the Internet — has run afoul of the law once again … and this time the charges are way more serious — he’s been accused of sending naked images to a minor … TMZ has learned.

McDowell was taken into police custody on February 19 and charged with multiple felonies, including felony transmission of video/photo of nudity without consent, as well as electronically furnishing obscene material to a minor, and making harassing phone calls, according to the Cherokee County Sheriff’s Office in Georgia.

McDowell posed for a mug shot showing off his famous neck, which is the size of a tree trunk.

The sheriff’s office says McDowell is being held without bond … but refused to provide specifics on the alleged crimes, citing a Georgia law that prevents the release of information about child abuse.

This isn’t McDowell’s first brush with the law … he first crossed paths with the police in Lee County, Alabama after he allegedly tried to elude cops during a reckless driving incident. His congenial smile coupled with his massive neck made his mugshot go viral — and he soon became an Internet sensation.

The aviation experience just got a little scarier, if that was even possible — a major tragedy was narrowly averted this morning on a runway in Chicago.

Hold on to your seats — terrifying footage shows a Southwest Airlines jet plane aborting its landing at Midway Airport Tuesday morning, when a Challenger 350 private jet on the runway taxied into its path seconds before what would’ve been a devastating collision.

As you can see, the Southwest Airlines plane nearly touched down on the runway before its quick-thinking pilot pulled off a heroic move, yanking the plane back up into the air for an emergency go-around — just a few hundred yards away from the private jet.

The pilot’s actions straight-up saved lives, and the plane, arriving from Nebraska, later landed safe and sound … with Southwest confirming the crew followed safety protocols, and everything ended without a hitch.

The details are still murky about the Tennessee-bound private jet — whether they saw the plane coming in, and the number of people onboard. The FAA is launching an investigation into the incident.

Aaron Gordon has plenty of support these days … thanks to his new underwear campaign.

The Denver Nuggets forward dropped down to his skivvies for his partnership with SAXX Underwear — known for their “superior comfort” pouches — and yeah … the dude is attracting some attention to his crotch.

“Ball is life,” the 29-year-old said in the IG caption. “@saxxunderwear knows this.”

FYI, the brand also works with other athletes … including Las Vegas Raiders star Maxx Crosby.

Safe to say if AG ever decides to move on from hoops, he’s got a career posing for the camera.
