In the end, the prosecutors decided shoe-throwing wasn’t enough to continue to try to track down Antonio Brown.
His misdemeanor charge was dismissed once they looked over all the evidence. There had been some erroneous reports that AB was involved in a standoff with the police. That was not correct, they were trying to serve him the arrest warrant, but the charge didn’t warrant them busting into his house and putting people’s lives in danger.
An arrest warrant for former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown was recalled on Tuesday after Florida prosecutors declined to pursue the case, according to online records.
The warrant, which was issued by Tampa, Florida, police on Nov. 29, stemmed from a domestic battery incident involving a woman.
According to police, on Nov. 28 at approximately 1:30 p.m., Brown and the woman were involved in a verbal altercation at his home in south Tampa. The argument became physical, and according to police, Brown threw a shoe at the woman. Brown also attempted to evict the woman from the home by locking her out.
However, after reviewing the charges contained in the affidavit and notice to appear, the state of Florida decided not to pursue the case and filed a notice to terminate prosecution.
Brown was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Jan. 6 after he jogged off the field against the New York Jets, displaying erratic behavior, including throwing his shirt and gloves into the stands. Brown has not suited up for another team and has been focusing on his music career.
Brown’s viral song and dance “Put That Sh*t On” has been very popular with players in all sports over the last couple of months. We never saw it in the World Cup.
Does this mean that AB has a future as a rapper? Only time will tell.
