Brown, 35, reportedly neglected to pay child support to the mother of one of his children. He was arrested around midnight Sunday outside his home after he entered a taxi, Local 10 News in Miami reported.

The report said that he was booked into jail on an out-of-county warrant. He has since been released on $15,000 bond.

Earlier in the weekend, Wiltrice Jackson, who is the mother of one of Brown’s children, told TMZ that Brown owed her more than $30,000 in unpaid child support.

“I do want him arrested,” Jackson told TMZ. “Because, right now, he’s making a mockery out of the judge, out of everything, because he feels like he’s untouchable.”

A judge had previously ruled back in April that Brown had missed child support payments to Jackson, according to Sports Illustrated.

Brown was drafted by the Steelers in 2010 and played nine seasons in Pittsburgh, earning seven Pro Bowl and four All-Pro honors. He last played in the NFL in 2021 for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, when he walked off the field mid-game without a shirt.
