Former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown is in legal trouble once again.
Back in August, police in Florida were ordered to arrest Brown after he failed to make a child support payment to his former partner. The ruling was handed down on Aug. 9 after Brown reportedly missed a $15,000 payment to Wiltrice Jackson.
Fast forward to October and he is now under arrest. He was arrested over the weekend in Broward County for allegedly failing to pay child support to the mother of one of his children.
Jail records from the Broward Sheriff’s Office show that the 35-year-old was booked into jail around midnight Sunday.
Wiltrice Jackson just spoke to TMZ last week to claim he owes her nearly $31,000. She even stated that she wants him behind bars for not paying.
“I do want him arrested,” she said. “Because, right now, he’s making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he’s untouchable.”

Jackson’s attorney, Pascal Michel, further stated his client wants Brown to be “an involved father,” especially since his 15-year-old daughter is following in his footsteps as a star athlete.
“By him having a daughter like an athlete like her, you would think he’d be in her corner to support her,” Jackson said.
At the time of the order of his arrest, Brown could’ve paid up and everything would’ve gone away.
Jackson had previously accused Brown of pushing her during a fight in 2019, but no charges were ever filed. In that same year, Brown was accused of sexual assault by two different women, including Britney Taylor, his former trainer, who said she was raped by the seven-time Pro Bowl receiver.
In 2022, Brown was accused of exposing himself while at a hotel in Dubai.
Brown hasn’t played in the NFL since January 2022, when he removed his jersey while walking off the field at MetLife Stadium.
