Police issue warrant for Antonio Brown's arrest

Florida police have issued a warrant for the arrest of embattled NFL free agent Antonio Brown.

Hollywood police spokesman Christian Latta said in a Wednesday news release Brown faces charges of burglary with battery, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and criminal mischief, the Associated Press reported.

The warrant warned, “officers should use caution when approaching Brown, as he is known for being confrontational when dealing with police,” according to TMZ.

According to documents obtained by TMZ, Brown hurled a rock at a moving truck driver before an alleged battery outside of his home Tuesday.

Court records state that Brown forced his way into the driver’s side of the main cabin and proceeded to physically strike him after disagreeing about a $4,000 fee for moving Brown’s belongings from California to his Florida home. Brown was restrained by his associates, TMZ reported.

Latta did not confirm this account in the release.

Despite attempts from local law enforcement to make contact with him, Brown remains at his home, neither under arrest nor in custody as of Wednesday evening, Latta said.

ESPN reported police were called to Brown’s home Tuesday after the alleged victim accused him and his trainer, Glen Holt, of battery outside of the house.

Holt was arrested and charged with one count of burglary and battery. Brown wasn’t charged but remained a suspect.

This latest incident comes less than a week after the Hollywood Police Department cut ties with Brown following an incident outside his home involving the mother of his children.

Brown, aka Mr. Big Chest, has been uncharacteristically mum on Twitter — kind of.

There was one cryptic tweet Wednesday morning: “They want my name slandered.”
