Brown was wanted in connection to an alleged domestic incident in late November involving a woman who shares children with the 34-year-old former four-time All-Pro.

However, the woman has since requested that the charges not be pursued, according to reports.

“Following a complete review of all the available evidence, the State Attorney’s Office determined no charges will be filed as a result of an incident involving Antonio Brown that took place on November 28, 2022,” the State Attorney’s Office said in a statement, according WFLA.

Authorities' initial, unsuccessful attempts to take Brown into custody were widely reported. It was also reported that authorities had attempted to obtain a risk protection order -- under the so-called red flag law -- against Brown in the course of their attempt to apprehend him, but the request was denied by a judge.

During the alleged incident, Brown reportedly threw a shoe at the woman amid a dispute. She was not injured but claimed that Brown was trying to hit her in the head.

Brown has been out of the NFL since his release by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers late last season. The former Steeler, Raider and Patriot has suggested on a couple occasions that he is all but retired.
