According to the arrest warrant, a get off work officer at the event security guard told police he saw Brown having a physical dispute with a man. Witnesses told police that Brown was a shooter. Brown had no weapons when he was slapped, but police found two second-hand shells and an empty gun holster.
In an article on X the next day, Brown claimed that he had been “jumped” by people trying to steal jewelry. Brown was handcuffed by police, but the former wide receiver said he was only in custody to share his account with police, but he was not arrested. Brown returned to the event after being released.

The victim allegedly said he knew Brown since 2022 and told police five days later that Brown ran at him with a gun, fired at him twice, and according to the arrest warrant, he could have swept his neck. The two fought on the guns until police arrived and Brown walked away. The plaintiff was treated in the hospital.
Brown is a seven-time professional bowler who played in the field and played the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the last time in the NFL, notoriously tearing off his mat and leaving the team in the game.
In the years since, he has encountered several legal problems. Less than a year after the last NFL game, Brown paid a moving truck driver $1.2 million, allegedly assaulting the driver in 2020. Two months later, he was charged with domestic violence, although the charges were later dropped. In 2023, he was arrested for failing to raise child support.
In addition to legal trouble, Brown also fenced up in 2023 to board the National Arena League franchise and filed for bankruptcy last year.
