Antonio Brown Waives Extradition at New Jersey Hearing
Former NFL player Antonio Brown waived extradition before a judge on Friday, preparing to return to Miami to face charges of attempted murder.
Brown, 37, was extradited by marshals from Dubai and handed over to the Newark Port Authority, which then placed him in Essex County Jail. Following the hearing, he remained at the jail awaiting transfer to Florida authorities, though the timing of his pickup was not specified by local prosecutors.
The duration of Brown's stay in Dubai is unknown. However, he has shared multiple posts on social media from there in recent months.
Incident Details and Charges
An arrest warrant from the May 16 shooting alleges that Brown grabbed a handgun from a security guard after a boxing match and fired two shots at a man he had previously fought.
"One of the bullets had grazed his neck," said the victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, during the investigation.
Brown faces a second-degree attempted murder charge, which carries up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $10,000 if convicted. It remains unclear whether Brown currently has legal representation.
