Former Pittsburg Steelers’ wideout Antonio Brown was detained by police last month following an incident that took place after a celebrity boxing event in Miami. Now, according to a warrant obtained by The Washington Post, authorities in Miami-Dade (Fla.) County are seeking to arrest the Super Bowl-winning wide receiver on a charge of attempted murder with a firearm. The warrant also reportedly calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and then remain under house arrest.
The incident stems from a fight that allegedly took place between Brown and several other individuals shortly before midnight on May 16. Videos from the altercation circulated on social media, as did pictures of Brown in handcuffs. However, he was not arrested. Brown later took to social media to claim that he was jumped by people trying to take his jewelry.
Brown, 36, was one of the most prolific receivers of the 2010s. As a sixth-round pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2010, he was named an All-Pro five times and made seven Pro Bowls over nine seasons.
