Brown hugs attorney after posting $25k bond to seal prison release

Antonio Brown, the former NFL standout, was seen exiting a Miami jail on Thursday. He is currently under house arrest as he faces a charge of attempted murder.

Brown is accused of discharging a firearm twice in an altercation with another man during a Miami boxing event in May.

During a Wednesday hearing, the 37-year-old appeared in red prison garb. The judge granted him a $25,000 bond, rejecting the prosecution’s request to keep him incarcerated.

The following day, Brown emerged from the prison wearing an Adidas jumpsuit, carrying personal items in a bag and some documents, all while sporting a smile.

His attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, was there to greet him. After sharing a hug, the pair made their way to a food truck, where Brown ordered a cup of conch.

‘God is good,’ Brown said to reporters as he headed away from the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami.

His attorney added: ‘We’re extremely grateful that he’s out after over 40 days of incarceration. He’s extremely eager to rejoin his family, who he loves dearly.’ 

Florida prosecutors can seek up to 20 years in prison for Brown, a former wide receiver for the Steelers, Raiders, Patriots and Buccaneers. 

He has been put under level three house arrest, which allows Brown to work and means he is not subject to a curfew. 

The 37-year-old will wear an electronic monitor that tracks his movements and Brown was warned that he will face additional charges if he cuts it off. 

‘I understand the state’s concern he’s going to flee,’ Judge Mindy S Glazer said. Brown, who must seek permission from the court if he wants to travel, thanked the judge for her decision. He is due back in court later this month.

Brown had been placed in an isolated cell – for his own protection – at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center. On Monday, Eiglarsh entered a ‘not guilty’ plea on Brown’s behalf.

The 37-year-old was taken into US Marshals custody after arriving from Dubai, where he had been since the shooting. Authorities in Florida issued an arrest warrant on a second-degree murder charge in June.

In a video from the fight night, organized by online influencer Adin Ross at Miami’s Brand Risk Warehouse, Brown could be seen brawling with a group of men.

He claimed they were attempting to ‘steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me’. Brown later appeared to pull out a gun before shots were fired.

‘I took this case because I passionately believe in Brown’s defense,’ Eiglarsh wrote in a statement provided to Daily Mail. 

‘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.’

Brown did not fight his extradition from New Jersey to Florida when given the opportunity last week. 

And, on Tuesday morning, a viral video recorded by Fox Sports Radio’s Andy Slater showed the handcuffed Super Bowl winner walking down a set of jetway stairs.

Brown first claimed his innocence after the shooting back in May, insisting he was defending himself. But Brown’s alleged target told the Daily Mail that the former NFL star was the instigator.

Zul-Qarnaįn Nantambu claimed Brown star shot at him, possibly in response to a legal battle between the two in federal bankruptcy court.

As seen in court files obtained by the Daily Mail, Nantambu claimed during a 2022 encounter with Brown in Dubai that the Super Bowl winner stole a valuable pendant he had designed and produced. 

Nantambu further said Brown lied to police in the United Arab Emirates, accusing him of theft and resulting in Nantambu’s brief imprisonment.

Nantambu sued Brown in Florida in 2022 and ultimately won a $968,960 verdict that was later vacated in 2024 before the case was dismissed. 

However, Nantambu has since pursued a partial reduced judgement of $123,600 in federal bankruptcy court as Brown continued to deny the allegations of theft, as seen those filings.
