Former NFL star Antonio Brown seemingly is always in the news, and unfortunately, it’s never really for anything good. Brown hasn’t played in the league since he undressed and left the field in a game in January 2022. The talented but mercurial speedster announced his retirement from the game a few months later, but since then nothing but drama has followed him.
Antonio Brown Wanted For Shooting
The latest incident involving Brown is centered on a shooting at streamer Adin Ross’ boxing event in Miami last month. Following the event Brown claims a group of people attempted to ambush him and take his jewelry.
A month later Brown is now wanted by Miami-Dade after a man claimed the former Central Michigan Chippewas star not only punched him but also shot at him multiple times.
Antonio Brown Denies Any Wrongdoing
Per reports, the police in Miami-Dade have issued a warrant for Brown’s arrest stating that Miami police detectives obtained footage of the alleged incident that showed Brown provoking a melee and even taking a gun from an armed security officer and firing two shots in the vicinity of the alleged victim, who was seen ducking on a video captured via cellphone.
Is Antonio Brown On The Run In Iran?
Days after authorities in Miami issued an arrest warrant for Brown, the former NFL star has reportedly been traveling in the Middle East — but police don’t consider him on the run.
Brown, 36, will have to return eventually to deal with the seven-page warrant, as signed by Miami-Dade Circuit Court Judge Ariel Rodriguez on June 11, listing Brown’s bond as $10,000 plus house arrest.
Miami Police Chief Manny Morales on Monday afternoon told the Miami Herald newspaper that detectives believe Brown is still in Dubai. They have been in contact with his attorney and expect him to be taken into custody once he returns to South Florida.
“We’re not going to be sending anybody there,” the Miami PD chief said.
Of course, Brown is using social media to tell his side of things and even calling it racial profiling in a somewhat incoherent tweet:
How TF You go from being victimized unto an attempt to murder. You see they control the media Took a month to change the narrative. A year or 2 them dragging the narrative.Attempt to murder you see. They only want 3 types of n—as In America in jail dead or dead broke.
Given Brown’s extremely shaky track record, it’s very hard for anyone to believe he’s being racially profiled. Unfortunately, he seems to always be where there’s trouble, and that’s become the norm he’s exhibited in retirement.
Plenty of fans agrees with AB, that the police were blowing the situation out of proportion by charging the former NFL great with such a serious crime.
”He was shooting in the air, it’s on video,” said one fan who expressed disbelief that the police want to bring AB in for defending himself at Adin Ross’ livestream event.
Brown Files For Bankruptcy After Earning Over $80 Million In NFL Career
Despite making over $80 million in his once illustrious NFL career, last year Brown filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. At the time he claimed that he had assets under $50,000 but owed well over $3 million in debts.
During an appearance on “The Pivot” podcast, Brown didn’t try to sugarcoat anything.
“I mean, I’m f—ed up, you know what I’m saying?” Brown said. “I just can’t comply with debt. You know, it’s all about protecting yourself. But yeah, you know … I’m not broke, but I’m fractured. … I’m just reallocating the debt to take care of the debtors. That’s all I’m doing.”
