A Florida state judge has issued an arrest warrant for former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown for failing to pay child support.
That’s what the Broward Sheriff’s Office confirmed to TMZ Sports.

Brown reportedly remedied the situation, however. On his Instagram account, he posted a screenshot of a transfer of $33,260.58 to Florida Child Support.
Early in his career, when he wore the colors of the Pittsburgh Steelers, the receiver had a child with Wiltrice Jackson. In 2019, the woman accused her ex-partner of physically assaulting her during an argument. Brown was never charged in this case.
It is not the first time that the police have been ordered to put the 34-year-old man behind bars in recent years. In 2022, an arrest warrant was issued for him for throwing a shoe at another ex-spouse with whom he has a child. The arrest warrant was eventually withdrawn after authorities said the alleged victim recanted.
Even more recently, earlier this month, Brown was sued by jeweler Shuki International for an unpaid amount of $1.095 million for the purchase of several jewels.
