Ex-NFL Star Antonio Brown Extradited to U.S. for Miami Shooting Trial
Former NFL player Antonio Brown has returned to the United States to face trial for a Miami shooting incident from nearly six months ago.
Extradition and Custody Details
Brown, 37, was extradited from Dubai and taken into custody at Newark Airport in Essex County, New Jersey. Authorities expect to transfer him to South Florida, though the timeline for this has not been publicly disclosed.
Background on Arrest Warrant
The arrest warrant for Brown was issued in June. At that time, police believed he was overseas but did not name his location. Following the warrant, Brown hired an attorney who secured a $10,000 bond with house arrest conditions, but Brown did not return to South Florida.
