Antonio Brown Released on Bail, Faces Attempted Murder Charge

Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown, 37, was released from a Miami jail on Thursday after posting $25,000 bail. He pleaded not guilty to a second-degree attempted murder charge. Brown is accused of firing two shots from a personal firearm at a man he had a physical altercation with on May 16, after allegedly grabbing a handgun from a security staffer. His attorney disputes the affidavit, stating the shots were not aimed at anyone. Brown, who spent 12 years in the NFL and was an All-Pro receiver, faces a potential 15-year prison sentence and a $10,000 fine if convicted. He was ordered by a judge to wear a GPS ankle monitor while awaiting trial. Brown last played in 2021 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and had a career of 928 receptions for over 12,000 yards and 88 total touchdowns.
