But he has been away from the sport because of his outlandish shenanigans, which have often landed him in trouble. The wide receiver was released by Tampa Bay after he walked out of a game and is yet to make a return in the NFL. AB has emerged as a notorious figure, and he is now sought to be arrested after being involved in a shooting incident.

According to a warrant reviewed by The Washington Post, Antonio Brown has been charged with attempted murder with a firearm, which requires the former NFL WR to remain under house arrest until the trial. It also instructs AB to post a USD 10,000 bond. Whether Brown is being represented by an attorney remains unknown. Even the Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office did not present a remark on the situation.
