Antonio Brown pleaded not guilty to second-degree attempted murder on Tuesday in Miami.
The four-time All-Pro wide receiver was arrested Thursday in Dubai in connection with an incident that happened May 17 outside a celebrity boxing event in Miami.
According to videos posted on social media, Brown was seen carrying a black pistol and following someone after participating in a fight. Not long after Brown could no longer be seen, gunshots could be heard. Police officers arrived at the scene soon thereafter.
While Brown was not arrested that night, Miami police issued a warrant for his arrest in June. Brown avoided arrest until being tracked down in Dubai.
Mark Eiglarsh, Brown's attorney, filed Brown's not guilty plea. Eiglarsh also issued a statement that the seven-time Pro Bowl receiver posted on his X account.
'I took this case because I passionately believe in Brown's defense,' the statement read. 'The actions he was forced to take were solely in self-defense against the alleged victim's violent behavior. Brown was attacked that night and acted within his legal right to protect himself from an individual who previously committed criminal acts against him. It's a privilege to represent him, and I am determined to ensure that justice is served.'
Eiglarsh has requested a trial by jury. If Brown goes to trial and is convicted, he could serve as many as 15 years in prison.
During his 12-year NFL career, Brown caught 928 passes for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns while playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers (2010-18), New England Patriots (2019) and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (2020-21).
