REPORT: Police Have Been Outside Antonio Brown's House Waiting For Him To Surrender Since Last Thursday
Brown has had a warrant out for his arrest with the Tampa Bay Police Department since Dec. 1. Police have attempted to arrest him at his home several times, but Brown remains locked in his house for what's now been a week.
He's wanted on charges of battery to his ex after an incident last month where he threw a shoe at her ponytail while attempting to remove her from the house.
According to the League of Justice, there has been a steady police presence outside of Brown's house since last Thursday as authorities believe he is still inside the home.
Eventually Brown will have to be arrested even if he is able to later be released on bond and try to negotiate a plea deal on the charges, say sources. There is a possibility that Brown could face an additional charge for refusing to surrender which may be categorized as a non-violent form of resisting arrest. Non-violent resisting arrest is also a misdemeanor carrying up to one year in jail or twelve months of probation and a $1,000 fine. However, if the resisting arrest turns violent, the penalty increases significantly and could carry up to five years in jail or five years on probation.
