Former NFL star Antonio Brown has been arrested on an attempted murder charge stemming from a shooting after a celebrity boxing event in Miami, police confirmed Thursday.
Brown, 37, was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Dubai, said Miami police spokesman Mike Vega. He was flown to Essex County, New Jersey, where he is being held pending extradition to Miami, Vega said.
It was unclear why Brown was taken to New Jersey first or how long he had been in Dubai, although he has posted several times on social media over the past few months from there.
According to an arrest warrant detailing the May 16 shooting, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after the boxing match and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators one of the bullets grazed his neck.
This dude wrote an email to someone about how he sexually assaulted them and got off free. He went back to playing in the NFL afterwards.
I’m sure there is some CTE going on here too.
former NFL star, now Florida Man
Well he’s from Miami, so you can take the man out of Florida but you can’t take the Florida out of the man.
And TIL he quit the NFL by taking off his pads and walking off mid-game.
