Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited to US for Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has returned to the United States to face trial for a Miami shooting incident that took place nearly six months ago.
Extradition and Custody Details
Brown, 37, was extradited from Dubai and taken into custody upon arrival at Newark Airport in Essex County, New Jersey. Authorities have confirmed his detention but have not disclosed the exact timeline for his transfer to South Florida to stand trial.
Background on the Arrest Warrant
The arrest warrant was issued in June when police believed Brown was abroad, though the location was unspecified. Afterward, Brown retained legal counsel who arranged a $10,000 bond including house arrest; however, Brown failed to return to South Florida and instead posted images and videos from Dubai, allegedly mocking the charges he faced.
The Miami Shooting Incident
The shooting occurred around 3 a.m. on May 17 near 221 NE 67th St. Police were alerted by the ShotSpotter gunshot detection technology. Although officers questioned several individuals at the scene, no arrests were made initially and no injuries were reported.
“Brown was believed to be overseas, but did not specify where.”
“Police said Brown posted pictures and videos from Dubai, and in some he was allegedly poking fun at the charges he was facing in Miami.”
Summary
U.S. Marshals traveled overseas to extradite Brown, ensuring his return for legal proceedings in Miami regarding the unresolved shooting case.
