BREAKING: Antonio Brown's Standoff With Police Is FINALLY Over
Antonio Brown's widely reported standoff with the police has finally come to an end, with the cops having made a decision on the direction they will be taking.
Indeed, TMZ Sports reported that the ex-NFL star's arrest warrant had been withdrawn -- and he's no longer facing criminal charges.
Police issued the warrant for Brown's arrest back in November ... after a woman accused the former football player of throwing a shoe at her during a violent incident on November 28 at home in South Tampa.
Investigators sought an in-person statement under oath from the woman before making a final charging decision, which included the possibility of upgrading the charge to a felony. But during a Dec. 16 interview, the woman recanted her previous allegations "regarding Mr. Brown's intent to strike her or cause her bodily harm," according to statement from the Hillsborough County State Attorney's Office.
Investigators analyzed the new information provided by the woman, along with the body camera video from the scene, an investigation by Child Protective Services investigation and the denial of a temporary protection order. The state attorney's office then "determined we could not prove beyond a reasonable doubt a battery took place," the statement said.
Brown was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Jan. 6 after he jogged off the field against the New York Jets, displaying erratic behavior, including throwing his shirt and gloves into the stands. Brown has not suited up for another team and has been focusing on his music career. - ESPN News Services
