Once again, Antonio Brown appears to be in trouble with the law.

The former Steelers wide receiver has allegedly had an order for his arrest issued by a Miami-Dade, Florida judge due to unpaid child support, according to TMZ.

Brown, who is set to be arrested by the Broward County Sheriff’s Office, can be released from custody if he pays $30,000, according to documents.

The money is allegedly owed to Brown’s former girlfriend, Wiltrice Jackson, who he dated while with the Steelers. The two have one daughter together.

Jackson, in 2019, accused Brown of shoving her during a domestic dispute. But the wide receiver was never charged.

This is not the fist time that police have had orders to arrest the 34-year-old in Florida. In 2022, an arrest warrant was issued over another domestic issue, an alleged battery incident involving the mother of other children that Brown fathers. That warrant was withdrawn when the woman recanted her claims.

The alleged neglect of payment of child support falls in a long line of claims against Brown for failing to pay for a variety of services and obligations.

Just this month, Brown was reportedly sued by a popular jeweler for over $1 million after they claimed he failed to pay them for several pieces of jewelry.

In the last week, Brown announced that he was the sole owner of an arena football team located in Albany, New York. That, however, was disputed by a co-owner of the team, Mike Kwarta.

Ironically, Brown claimed that Kwarta ‘couldn’t afford’ to help the team move forward.
