Ex-NFL star Antonio Brown sought on attempted murder charge

Authorities in Miami-Dade County are seeking to arrest former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown on a charge of attempted murder stemming from a shooting at a celebrity boxing event in May, according to a warrant reviewed by The Washington Post.

The warrant, which was signed by a judge Wednesday, lists a charge of attempted murder with a firearm and calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and remain under house arrest pending trial. Efforts to reach Brown, 36, were unsuccessful Thursday evening; it was unclear whether he was represented by an attorney. A spokesman for the Miami-Dade State Attorney’s Office declined to comment.

The criminal charge stems from an incident outside a boxing event in the Little Haiti neighborhood of Miami, after which Brown was detained by police and released hours later.

Sounds like he's in a lot of trouble.

He was surely headed for the Hall of Fame after his first 7 seasons with the Steelers, then he got concussed by a vicious hit directly to the head from Vontaze Burfict of Cincinnati in a playoff game and his behavior became significantly more erratic and unhinged as time passed after the hit. It's speculated he has CTE but that can't be confirmed until he dies. Whether his complete self destruction in his life following the hit can be traced to the hit or not - it's a sad story as he was headed for recognition as one of the greatest Receivers in NFL history, and then everything - his football career and his personal life completely fell apart.



Unbelievably, he's still only 37 years old. I have strong doubts he ever sees 40.
