Former NFL player Antonio Brown is traveling to Miami to address an murder attempt allegation connected with a gunfire that happened in May, as his counsel filing a innocent plea on his behalf.
Detention records in Essex, New Jersey, show that Brown was discharged on Tuesday early for his transfer to the state of Florida. Brown, one of the most popular figures in the NFL, had waived transfer to Florida from New Jersey, where he was held after being arrested in Dubai.
Brown’s counsel, Mark Eiglarsh, stated in an communication that he has earlier submitted a written innocent declaration to the attempted murder charge. Brown could be in a Miami hearing as early as Wednesday morning for a bond hearing, Eiglarsh said.
As per his apprehension document, Brown is alleged of seizing a firearm from a safety employee after a star boxing bout in May and shooting multiple rounds at a man he had clashed with earlier. The claimed target, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, informed authorities that one of the bullets touched his neck.
Eiglarsh asserted that Brown was only defending himself from Nantambu.
“The measures he was forced to take were purely in defense against the alleged person’s hostile conduct. Brown was targeted that time and responded within his legal right to defend himself,” Eiglarsh stated.
Brown was not promptly detained because initially authorities did not consider Nantambu as a target. It wasn’t until afterward in May that Nantambu provided a detailed account about the event to police and named Brown as the gunman, the document says.
From his digital content, Brown had been residing in Dubai for multiple months. In a message after the altercation, Brown said he was safeguarding himself because he was “assaulted by several individuals who attempted to rob my possessions and bring physical harm to me.”
A category two attempted murder allegation in Florida carries a maximum fifteen-year prison term and up to a ten thousand dollar fee in the instance of a conviction.
Brown has encountered numerous judicial problems over the years. He previously had been charged of physical attack of a truck operator, multiple family violence charges, neglect to pay child support and additional incidents.
During a 2021 season contest with the Buccaneers against the opponents, Brown removed his shirt, shoulder pads and gloves and ran off the arena, resulting in his dismissal by the franchise and virtually concluding his NFL journey.
Brown, who had a dozen years in the NFL, was an top-tier receiver who devoted the majority of his time with the Steelers. During his career, Brown had nine hundred twenty-eight catches for above 12,291 yards, the 28th most of record. He was a seven-time all-star pick.
