State prosecutors did not file charges against Brown after an investigation
By Paulina Dedaj
Florida state prosecutors declined to file charges against former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown last month after an alleged domestic violence incident at his South Tampa home.
But newly reviewed 911 calls reveal details of the incident in which the alleged victim claimed Brown had been “sending explicit videos to my son’s phone,” in addition to throwing her belongings out of the home.
According to the audio obtained by TMZ Sports, the woman told a disptacher she and Brown got into “a little argument.”
She said she exited the home with her children “before it escalates into anything violent” but told the 911 operator that Brown then began to “throw” her belongings outside and send “explicit videos to my son’s phone.”
Fox News Digital reached out to the Tampa Police Department.
An arrest warrant for a misdemeanor battery charge was issued for Brown in early December after a “verbal altercation” between Brown and a woman at a home in South Tampa Nov. 28, the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office said at the time.
Law enforcement had attempted to serve Brown with the warrant, but he refused to come out. Then, on Dec. 21, the State Attorney’s Office (SAO) announced no charges would be filed against Brown.
“The alleged victim cooperated with our office and showed up in person to meet with the victim assistance advocate and assistant state attorney assigned to the case on December 16. The alleged victim later renounced her earlier claims that Mr. Brown intended to hit her or harm her bodily after being sworn in “a news release from the SAO stated.
“The SAO determined that we could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt that a battery occurred after reviewing this new information, the body-worn camera video that was captured at the scene, the Child Protective Services investigation, and the denial of a law enforcement request for a temporary risk protection order. A letter of release was consequently issued, formalizing the SAO’s decision to drop the case and rescinding the earlier issued arrest warrant.”
Brown last played in the NFL Jan. 2, 2022, when he infamously walked off the field at MetLife Stadium as the Bucs were trailing the struggling New York Jets, 24-10.
