Antonio Brown turns himself in to police on multiple charges
HOLLYWOOD, Fla. -- Antonio Brown (Unemployed wide receiver) turned himself in to Broward County Jail on Thursday night in response to an arrest warrant filed against him on three charges. Accompanied by lawyers and friends, Brown arrived in a turquoise suit at about 10 p.m. ET prepared to face his outstanding charges of felony burglary with battery, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and criminal mischief stemming from a Tuesday incident outside his home in which he allegedly assaulted a moving truck driver. It marked the end of a multiday waiting period as police attempted to speak with Brown with no success and then waited all day Thursday for him to turn himself in.
Brown threw a rock at the driver's moving truck before the alleged battery outside of Brown's home Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by TMZ. The documents allege Brown later forced his way into the driver's side of the main cabin of the truck and began to physically strike the driver after a disagreement over payment escalated. Brown was then restrained by his associates. The court documents obtained by TMZ state that the moving company was hired by Brown to deliver belongings the receiver had stored in California to his home in Hollywood.
Brown, 31, allegedly refused to pay the $4,000 fee, which initially led the driver to attempt to leave with the property in his truck. According to the documents obtained by TMZ, Brown then threw the rock, denting and causing paint damage to the driver's side of the vehicle. The driver then called police to report the damage.
Later, the documents say, the moving company told the driver to drop off the goods because Brown agreed to pay the fee plus damages he caused. However, Brown paid the $4,000 fee but refused to pay more. Another argument ensued, and that's when, the driver alleges, Brown assaulted him, and Holt attempted to grab his keys from the ignition to open the truck and get Brown's belongings, causing cuts and scratches on the driver.
Brown's home is located in a gated community. Multiple neighbors told ESPN they are fed up with the antics taking place at the home, including multiple police encounters this month.
