Former Pittsburgh Steelers superstar receiver Antonio Brown added to his rap sheet over the weekend.
The sad story of former Pittsburgh Steelers receiver Antonio Brown continued over the weekend when he found himself arrested in Broward County, Florida.
Brown was arrested on an out-of-county warrant for allegedly failing to pay child support to Wiltrice Jackson, the mother of his daughter, Antanyiah.
The news comes just days after Brown faced charges of felony burglary conveyance, misdemeanor battery, and misdemeanor criminal mischief that stemmed from a separate financial disagreement.
October was not the first time Brown had gotten in trouble for missing child support payments, as he missed a $30,000 payment this spring.
Jackson spoke to TMZ about his pattern of skipping payments.
“I do want him arrested,” Jackson said. “Because, right now, he’s making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he’s untouchable.”
Making a mockery out of things is something Brown, 35, has gotten used to. After becoming too much for the Steelers to deal with and protesting a trade to the Buffalo Bills, he was dealt to the (then Oakland) Raiders. He would soon be fined by the team and released, eventually landing with the New England Patriots. That too would not last long.
Perhaps most famously, Brown made an infamous exit from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster after parading around MetLife Stadium shirtless during the third quarter of a game against the New York Jets. Teammates expressed care for Brown but understood why Tampa Bay immediately cut ties with him.
Brown has faced accusations of domestic violence and sexual assault in the past, as well. While denying these allegations, he has claimed that his behavior can be connected to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), a neurodegenerative disease often linked to professional football. CTE cannot be diagnosed until a post-mortem autopsy of the brain is done.
At the time of writing, Brown has been released on a $15,000 bond.
