Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has received court approval to travel outside Miami while under house arrest. A Florida judge agreed to let Brown travel to Tampa later this month for business commitments despite ongoing legal battles.
Brown’s lawyer asked the court to permit a roughly 280-mile trip across the state. The request covers six days of work with a luxury car rental company, Energetic Exotic, and scheduled music studio sessions. The judge signed off on the plan, even though prosecutors objected.
The court placed strict limits on the travel. Brown must follow all conditions of his release and return on time. Any violations could send him back into custody. Prosecutors had pushed back, saying he should stay confined due to the severity of charges against him.
Brown was placed on house arrest in November after being extradited from the United Arab Emirates to face a second-degree attempted murder charge. The accusation stems from an incident at a celebrity boxing event last spring, where Brown allegedly fired shots at a man after a confrontation.
Brown has pleaded not guilty. If convicted, he could face decades in prison. For now, the judge’s ruling gives him a narrow window to handle business while his legal battle continues.
