Antonio Brown faces up to 30 years in prison if convicted of attempted second-degree murder with a deadly weapon in Florida. The charge relates to an incident in May, where he allegedly fired a gun at another man.
Brown agreed to a waiver of extradition in a New Jersey courtroom on Friday, allowing his transfer to South Florida. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office confirmed to the Daily Mail that Brown appeared before Judge Kevin Barry and chose not to contest his extradition to Miami.
TMZ was the first to report on the hearing. Brown was extradited earlier in the week from Dubai, where he had lived for several months following the shooting, as documented on his social media.
The 37-year-old former NFL star remained in Essex County jail while awaiting transport back to South Florida. Despite being in US Marshals custody in New York, Brown’s social media accounts stayed active, promoting cryptocurrency platforms and an online sportsbook.
One Instagram post on Friday read: “God is good.”
Summary: Antonio Brown waived extradition in New Jersey and awaits transfer to Florida, where he faces serious charges linked to a May shooting incident, while maintaining active social media presence.
