Antonio Brown Waives Extradition, Set to Return to Florida to Face Attempted Murder Charge

A transfer to Miami-Dade now awaits following his capture by U.S. Marshals in Dubai.

Overview

  • Brown waived extradition in a brief New Jersey hearing and remains in the Essex County jail awaiting transfer to Miami-Dade.
  • Authorities say he was detained in Dubai with cooperation from UAE officials and flown to New Jersey before U.S. proceedings.
  • Prosecutors have charged him with second-degree attempted murder, with additional counts reported for illegal firearm possession and reckless conduct with a deadly weapon.
  • An arrest affidavit and police-cited video describe Brown taking a security guard’s gun and firing twice at Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu, who reported a grazing neck wound.
  • He faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted under Florida law, while he has publicly denied the police account and claimed he was targeted in an attempted robbery.
