Antonio Brown receives permission to travel despite pending attempted murder case

Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown has been granted permission to travel to Tampa for professional reasons, despite being under house arrest in Miami due to an attempted murder case. Prosecutors opposed the motion, labeling Brown a flight risk, referencing his previous departure to Dubai following an initial arrest warrant. The case is linked to a shooting incident at a May 2025 celebrity boxing event, where Brown claims he acted in self-defense under Florida's "stand your ground" law. He intends to seek a dismissal of the charge. Brown's travel request cited business engagements with Energetic Exotic and scheduled music studio sessions. He will remove his GPS monitor for the trip, which will be reinstalled upon his return. Brown, who played 12 NFL seasons with multiple teams, last appeared in the league in 2021.
