Miami authorities are reportedly seeking out former NFL player Antonio Brown to arrest him on the charge of attempted murder with a firearm, according to the Washington Post. The charge is related to an altercation at a Miami boxing event in May.

A warrant obtained by the Washington Post calls for Brown to post $10,000 bond and stay under house arrest until a trial. The warrant was signed by a judge Wednesday, but attempts to reach Brown on Thursday evening were unsuccessful, per the Washington Post.

The incident took place May 16, with police responding around midnight after receiving an alert from a gunshot detection system.

    If you aren’t familiar, many have spoken or written about Brown’s mental health before and after the vicious dirty hit he suffered from noted dirty player Vontaze Burfict during a game with the Bengals, and TBH, I don’t care if it puts a starter out for a whole year, I’m a big believer that the NFL needs to suspend people for a whole-ass season when they play dirty on purpose.

        You make a fair point. It’s not like there aren’t tens of thousands of people who could have filled Burfict’s place, but I don’t think the NFLPA would ever let lifetime bans stand.

        But Burfict definitely deserved a lifetime ban in my opinion.
