Former Buccaneers' Wide Receiver Arrested Due to Unpaid Child Support

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers' wide receiver Antonio Brown was arrested Sunday afternoon pertaining to a warrant for his arrest due to unpaid child support.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have had their fair share of elite players over the past few seasons and that includes one of the best wide receivers to ever play the game in Antonio Brown.

Unfortunately for Brown, he has tarnished his name due to all of his antics throughout his career and especially after it.

Since leaving Tampa Bay in memorable fashion, Brown has only seen his off-field issues continue to rise and that has not changed as he was arrested on Sunday afternoon in Dania Beach, Florida while attempting to get into a taxi outside of his home.

The arrest was made due to a warrant that was issued for Brown to the former Buccaneers' and Pittsburgh Steelers' wide receiver allegedly failing to pay child support to his daughter, Antanyiah's mother Wiltrice Jackson in excess of $31,000.

Brown has since been released on $15,000 bond and even with the case between Brown and Jackson being brought to court there has not been much movement on the case.

AB has constantly been in the news for the wrong reasons, most recently being banned from his ownership of the arena football league's Albany Empire for failure to meet his financial obligations and then for stripping off his pants (which also contained his cellphone) at a Tallahassee, Florida bar after his rap performance.

Needless to say, it is highly unlikely this will be the last we hear of AB in the news.
