A Florida judge has ordered cops to arrest Antonio Brown for unpaid child support amounting to $33,260.58 despite the NFL retiree claiming he paid the full amount on social media Friday.
The order was issued by a Miami-Dade County judge on April 14 after Brown, 34, allegedly avoided payments he was supposed to send to his ex-wife Wiltress Jackson, according to court documents seized by the court. TMZ Sports.
However, on Friday, the 2021 Super Bowl champ shared a photo of a receipt on his Instagram page, apparently ending up paying the five-figure sum to Florida Child Support.
Everyone wants to see me fail and that’s why I have to be great!!!
The Broward County Sheriff’s Office has confirmed that it has received the order, though there is a provision to release Brown from custody if he pays $30,000 per TMZ, which will eventually apply to the seven-time Pro-Bowler’s legal case.

Brown, the 2021 Super Bowl champion, shared a photo of a receipt confirming he paid the five-figure sum on his Instagram page on Friday.
Brown and Jackson never married, although the former couple had a daughter together and were involved in several conflicts, including custody battles.
In 2019, AB was accused of pushing Jackson to the floor after she demanded payment from the former NFL player for a hair date. Brown has not been charged with this claim.
Ultimately, Jackson was denied additional child support, and Brown took custody of their child.
In 2018, AB was sued for throwing furniture off a balcony in his Florida apartment complex when a 22-month-old was nearly hit by some debris in the patio below. In the end, that lawsuit was settled.
Moreover, he settled a sexual assault case with a former personal trainer who claimed that he exposed himself to her and raped her in 2021. In 2020, the mover was awarded $1.2 million in compensation after accusing Brown of attacking him during an argument.
Separately, Victor Prisk, a Pittsburgh-based physician whom Brown worked with while he was with the Steelers, also sued Brown for “farting in the face” and $11,500 in unpaid fees in 2018.
In January 2020, after several local incidents in which police were called to the Browns’ home in Hollywood, Florida, the cops stated that they no longer wanted Brown to participate in the Youth League (PAL).
The Hollywood Police Department even returned a check from Brown and issued an infringement order banning him from the youth league.
In 2022, Brown’s name was embroiled in further controversy after he exposed himself in front of a woman at the Armani Hotel in Dubai, specifically in the pool area.
That same year, in December, Tampa police attempted to serve an arrest warrant for Brown on domestic violence charges related to an incident with his ex-fiancée the previous month, in which he had thrown a shoe at her during an argument with her.
In January, Snapchat suspended Brown’s account after he posted an explicit photo of a woman performing oral sex on him.
The Browns have been out of the NFL since January 2022, when he got into a sideline altercation with Buccaneers coaches before removing his jersey and pads and walking off MetLife Stadium in the middle of a game against the New York Jets.
