Antonio Brown just can’t stay out of the news.
I wonder if the Bucs knew about this. It is possible they didn’t because the HOA doesn’t consider it a big deal.
Here is what happened.
Antonio Brown, the superstar wide receiver who recently returned to the NFL after a slew of off-the-field troubles, was accused last month of angrily destroying a surveillance camera at the gated community in Hollywood where he lives and throwing his bicycle at a security-guard shack, according to a police report obtained by the Herald.
Sylvia Berman, the HOA president, downplayed the incident on Monday. “It’s not that we’re afraid of him,” Berman told the Herald. Instead, she said, the board thought the incident was too minor to press charges and Brown had agreed to replace the broken camera.
Berman, the HOA president, told the Herald that Brown was upset that day because the board had earlier fined him for unspecified rules violations, and changed his gate ”privileges,” forcing him to come to the security shack to meet guests.
“It was just kind of an emotional reaction,” said Berman, who also called him a “hero” for helping Tampa Bay beat the Carolina Panthers on Sunday.
Berman, the president of the HOA, told police she didn’t want to pursue charges but instead would “consult” with the board “on how to proceed with Brown,” the report said. Berman told the Herald that Brown has since replaced the camera and paid his fine, and has since had his gate privileges restored.
