Second arrest warrant reportedly issued for Antonio Brown for unpaid child support
Former NFL star Antonio Brown has another warrant out for his arrest, according to Miami-Dade County court documents obtained by TMZ Sports.
A judge has ordered Brown’s arrest dating back to Aug. 9 for missing $15,000 worth of payments to Wiltrice Jackson. Jackson is one of Brown’s former girlfriends and the mother to his daughter.
In the past, Jackson has successfully sought remedy from the court for the former Steeler’s failure to pay child support.
According to the court documents, Brown can avoid arrest, as he did previously in April, if he makes the outstanding payment. He must also pay an additional $5,000 in attorney fees.
To get out of a previous warrant, Brown coughed up roughly $30,000 in late child support payments, plus extra fees.
The wide receiver who ended his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers has made few positive headlines since leaving the league. He took over the Albany Empire of the AFL but his ownership fell apart in stunning fashion.
The AFL kicked Brown’s team out as Commissioner Chris Siegfried reported that Albany owed $21,000 in league assessment fees.

The Empire’s coaches and players are also threatening a lawsuit against Brown and his trust after their final paycheck ended up leaving their bank accounts after they had already posted.
Empire wide receiver Fabian Guerra told the Times-Union he would join a lawsuit against Brown.
“I feel like this was his plan all along,” Guerra said in June. “I feel like he does stuff for social media and to sell his songs… think it’s just what he does. That’s the type of guy he is. No one trusts him anymore. I see it hard for him to get any future deals going because of how he is as a person.”
Antonio Brown embroiled in scandal since Tampa Bay departure
The last time we saw Brown in uniform, he would take it off — literally — in the middle of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers road game against the New York Jets before parading around the sidelines. The incident forced the hand of the Bucs’ brass and the two parties would go their separate ways following the game.
In seven games in 2021, Brown caught 42 passes for 545 yards and four touchdowns. He was a shell of his former self after he strung together six 1,000-plus yard receiving seasons from 2013-18.
Since leaving the Pittsburgh Steelers, Brown made a pit stop in New England for a one-game stint with the Patriots before settling down in Tampa for two more seasons.
