Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Antonio Brown is in the news for all the wrong reasons, again.
According to TMZ Sports, a judge has ordered police to arrest former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown over unpaid child support. This case is in Broward County, Florida.
Per the TMZ report:
“According to court documents, the order was issued by a Miami-Dade County, Fla. judge on April 14 … after Brown had allegedly ducked payments that he had been required to make to his ex, Wiltrice Jackson.
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office has been in receipt of the order … a BCSO spokesperson confirmed on Friday morning.”
The court documents further state Brown can be released from custody if he just pays $30,000, which is what the judge ruled is to be applied to his unpaid child support.
Wiltrice Jackson and Brown dated during the former Pittsburgh Steelers star’s early football playing days. They had one daughter together.
Antonio Brown filed for custody of his daughter after the mother claimed he allegedly pushed her to the ground when she asked him to pay for the girl’s hair appointment in 2019.
Brown was never charged over the claim.
Brown is famous for his outstanding performance as a wide receiver and is infamous for making headlines, and repeated threats of leaving the NFL. Drafted in 2010, he became one of the highest-paid receivers during his brief time with Oakland Raiders in 2019.
Brown hasn’t played in the NFL since the 2021 season but has recently purchased part of the Arena Football League team, the Albany Empire.
