"Brown, 37, has pleaded not guilty to the second-degree attempted murder charge, which carries a potential 15-year prison sentence and a fine up to $10,000 if he is convicted. His lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, said Brown would return to his home in Broward County, Florida, while the case proceeds. "He no longer has a passport. He'll be living at his home. I look forward to working with him zealously on this case," Eiglarsh told Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer at a bond hearing."
"According to an arrest warrant, Brown is accused of grabbing a handgun from a security staffer after a celebrity boxing match in Miami on May 16 and firing two shots at a man he had gotten into a fistfight with earlier. The victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, told investigators that one of the bullets grazed his neck. Brown's attorney said Wednesday that the affidavit is mistaken and that Brown actually used his personal firearm, and that the shots were not aimed at anyone."
Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown will be released on $25,000 bail and must wear a GPS ankle monitor while facing a second-degree attempted murder charge in Florida. Brown has pleaded not guilty to the charge, which carries up to 15 years in prison and a possible $10,000 fine. His lawyer said Brown will return to his home in Broward County, will not have a passport, and intends to cooperate with the case. Authorities allege Brown grabbed a handgun after a Miami celebrity boxing match and fired two shots, grazing the victim's neck. Brown's attorney says the affidavit is incorrect, that Brown used his own gun, and that the shots were not aimed at anyone. Social media posts indicate Brown had been living in Dubai and claimed he acted in self-defense after being attacked and having jewelry targeted.
