The man who was allegedly shot at told police that a bullet grazed his neck. He later confirmed Brown’s identity after reviewing the video evidence.
Brown was briefly detained following the incident but was released hours later.
He addressed the situation on social media on May shortly after his detention.
“I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me,” he wrote. “Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED.”
Brown added, “I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process.”
The warrant issued for Brown includes a $10,000 bond and stipulates that, if arrested, he must remain under house arrest while awaiting trial.
Antonio Brown, who last played in the NFL in 2021, has a long record of legal entanglements.
His past includes a rape lawsuit filed in 2019 and settled in 2021, a 2020 assault arrest, falsifying COVID-19 vaccination records in 2021, and a bankruptcy filing in 2024.
