More than a year after Antonio Brown walked away from the NFL, he continues to make headlines, for all the wrong reasons.
TMZ Sports reported Friday that a Miami-Dade County, Florida, judge has issued an arrest warrant for the former NFL star, over unpaid child support payments to his ex-girlfriend, Wiltrice Jackson.
The warrant was issued April 14.
According to the report, the court order stipulates Brown can be released if he pays $30,000 toward his unpaid child support debts.
Jackson and Brown, who were involved in a relationship during his years with the Pittsburgh Steelers, had a daughter together. They also had some tough times as a couple, including a 2019 incident in which she alleged Brown had shoved her during a dispute.
Brown also ran afoul of the law late last year, when a warrant was issued for his arrest for domestic battery in a case involving the mother of his children in Tampa. However, police did not take action after the woman recanted her story.
The 34-year-old Brown, a seven-time Pro Bowl player, has not played in the NFL since Jan. 2, 2022, when he walked off the field — stripping out of his uniform along the way — during the Tampa Bay Buccaneers game against the New York Jets.

Since then, Brown has stayed busy making controversial social media posts, including a January 2023 Snapchat post showing him engaged in explicit sexual activity.
