An arrest warrant was issued for Antonio Brown on charges of battery in connection with the late November incident
According to HSCO’s Publicly available command databaseBrown was charged with battery for an accident on November 28. Charge code is 784.03(1)(a)(1), which according to Florida law is a simple battery that details, “actually and intentionally touches or strikes another person against the will of the other.”
According to Hussein and Weber“Penalties can include up to a year in prison, or a probationary sentence not exceeding one year. Unlike other misdemeanors, Florida prosecutors often seek jail terms or probation for even first-time battery offenders.”

The Browns haven’t played in the NFL since last year when he infamously removed his jersey in a game against the Jets and ran off the field, repeatedly raising his hands to let out the crowd.
