Former NFL star Antonio Brown has been arrested on an attempted murder charge stemming from a shooting incident after a celebrity boxing event in Miami.
Former NFL star Antonio Brown, 37, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Dubai on an attempted murder charge and is being held in New Jersey pending extradition to Miami. The charge relates to a May 16 incident following a celebrity boxing event where Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer and firing two shots at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, a man he had previously fought. Nantambu reported being grazed in the neck by one of the bullets. Brown, an All-Pro wide receiver who played 12 years in the NFL, faces a second-degree attempted murder charge, which could lead to a 15-year prison sentence. This arrest adds to Brown's history of legal issues, including past accusations of battery, domestic violence, and failure to pay child support.
