An active arrest warrant has been issued for former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown, according to the NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe.
Wolfe shared a screenshot of the warrant on his Twitter account Thursday.
As of the time of this writing, Brown has not been arrested.
According to a report from Steelers Now, Tampa police had filed a risk protection order in Hillsborough County, Florida, on Wednesday, but that request was denied. That request, had it been allowed, would have allowed authorities to restrict Brown’s ability to purchase a firearm for up to a year. The burden of proof for the state is establishing that an individual poses “a significant danger of harming himself/herself or others by possessing a firearm.”

Just last month, Brown was ordered to pay Anton Tumanov $1.2 million after an alleged assault following a dispute over a delivery.
Brown has not played in the NFL since walking off the field in the middle of a game during the 2021 season.
