Incident at NFL player Antonio Brown’s Hollywood house ends with one arrest
Hollywood police came to NFL player Antonio Brown’s house for the second time in eight days Tuesday. This time, someone left in handcuffs.
That someone wasn’t Brown, but his trainer Glenn Holt, according to Hollywood police. Holt was charged with one count of burglary with battery.
Hollywood police said the victim claimed Brown had his hands in the battery, too. Brown wasn’t in custody because “officers attempted to make contact with Mr. Brown, but were unsuccessful.”
Video from news helicopters hovering over 3600 Estate Oak Cir. since shortly the 2 p.m. 911 call showed a moving van parked in front of Brown’s home. WSVN-Channel 7’s Nicole Linsata reported that the moving van driver claimed he was assaulted by Brown and another person about delivery payment.
On Jan. 13, a kerfuffle involving Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Chelsie Kyriss, ended with no arrests, just bad feelings after Brown waved penis-shaped gummy candies at police while calling them “a bag of d--cks.” Hollywood’s Police Athletic League youth football program ending their relationship with Brown and returned his financial contribution.
Two days later, Kyriss filed a petition in Broward County court to establish paternity, a parenting plan and child support with Brown.
Soon after that, Brown’s agent Drew Rosenhaus “conditionally” ceased working with the former NFL superstar — that is, until he gets professional help, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Brown came out of Liberty City, but graduated from Miami Norland High School. He was all set to go to FIU, where he would’ve played with childhood friend T.Y Hilton, but wound up going to Central Michigan after an incident on the FIU campus.
Though arguably the NFL’s best wide receiver over the last five years, the Pittsburgh Steelers traded the mercurial Brown to Oakland. Problems in Oakland — from everything to his helmet to a reported confrontation with general manager Mike Mayock — led to his release before he played a game and he was picked up by New England just in time to play the Dolphins in September.
It would be his only game of the season. Five days before the Patriots-Dolphins game, a trainer filed a federal lawsuit alleging Brown sexually assaulted her. Five days after the game, still fielding questions about how they would handle the case, the Patriots released Brown.
