Former NFL star Antonio Brown was arrested on Sunday, October 15, 2023, in Florida for failing to pay child support. Brown was taken into custody outside his home in Dania Beach while he was getting in a taxi.
According to court documents, Brown owes $31,000 in child support payments to his ex-girlfriend, Wiltrice Jackson. Brown and Jackson share a daughter together.
Brown was previously arrested for failing to pay child support in April 2023. He was released on bond after paying the $30,000 he owed Jackson in child support payments.
Brown is a seven-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl champion. He was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in January 2022 following a series of off-field incidents.
It is unclear if Brown will be released on bond again. He is scheduled to appear in court on Wednesday, October 18, 2023.
This is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Brown. In 2019, he was accused of sexual assault and battery by multiple women. He has also been arrested for multiple traffic violations and other offenses.
Brown’s arrest for failing to pay child support is a reminder of the importance of paying child support. Child support payments are essential to ensuring that children have the financial resources they need to grow and thrive.
