Antonio Brown wasted no time making a quick pit stop for some food following his release from jail.
On Thursday (November 13), WPLG Local 10 captured Brown leaving the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Florida after posting a $25,000 bond, and walking over to the nearby Fruity Dressed Conch food truck.
"We saw him come out, and we just called him over to the truck to give him a meal," Quartishia McCollum, who was working at the truck, told the news station.
Brown's attorney Mark Eiglarsh ushered the former NFL player to an Uber that took him home.
Brown was arrested in Dubai and extradited to the United States last week on an attempted murder charge stemming from his alleged involvement in a shooting in May. After he was turned over to federal agents in New York, Brown was taken to South Florida and booked on Tuesday (November 11).
Brown appeared in court the following day where he was questioned about his trip to Dubai in light of his arrest warrant. "I have documents and evidence that he has an ongoing business in Dubai, and he went there in May before any warrant was issued," Eiglarsh said.
Zül-Qarnaįn Nantambu has accused Brown of firing two shots at him following a scuffle outside of a boxing event in Miami, hosted by Adin Ross. According to the arrest warrant, obtained by ESPN, Brown allegedly grabbed a handgun from a security staffer and fired two shots. Nantambu told investigators that one of the bullets grazed his neck.
Eiglarsh disputed the origin of Nantambu's neck wound, claiming the victim was scratched during a melee before the shooting. Prosecutors have been unable to confirm in court that Nantambu was shot.
According to WPLG Local 10, Eiglarsh told reporters that Brown has been "clearly over charged," saying: "Even the judge said at worst we are talking about aggravated assault."
After pleading not guilty on behalf of Brown, Eiglarsh sent a statement to TMZ in which he maintained that his client acted in self-defense.
"The actions he was forced to take were solely in self-defense against the alleged victim's violent behavior," Eiglarsh said. "Brown was attacked that night and acted within his legal right to protect himself from an individual who had previously committed criminal acts against him. It's a privilege to represent him, and I am determined to ensure that justice is served."
As part of his release, Brown was issued a GPS ankle monitor, and ordered to not have any contact with Nantambu.
