Arrest Warrant Issued For Former Steeler Antonio Brown

TAMPA, FL — Police issued an arrest warrant Thursday for former Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown. The warrant centers around an alleged domestic battery incident involving a woman.

A Nov. 28 verbal argument between Brown and the woman at Brown's South Tampa residence became physical and Brown threw a show at the victim, ESPN reported. He also attempt to lock her out of the home.

According to the Steelers Now website, a risk protection order against Brown was denied by a Florida judge on Wednesday. Such orders are meant to restrict firearm and ammunition possession by a person who presents a danger to themselves or others.

Brown, 34, was a stellar Steelers wide receiver from 2010-18 until erratic behavior derailed his career. Since leaving the Steelers, he has played for the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

His last game played was in January, when he took off his jersey and stormed off the field as the Buccaneers were playing the New York Jets.

Brown last month was ordered to pay $1.2 million to a moving truck driver after being arrested for assaulting the driver. He pleaded no contest to the charge and received two years probation.
