Antonio Brown arrest warrant: Police camping outside WR's home as he refuses to surrender
Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown had an arrest warrant issued against him last week. However, the Tampa Police Department is yet to apprehend the free agent.
Per Fox Sports' Amy Dash, law enforcement officials have been patiently camping outside Brown's residence in Tampa since last Thursday. They are hoping he will surrender himself. The Tampa Police Department believes that the former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver has locked himself inside his residence to avoid getting arrested.
Police sources tell @LOJSports that there has been a steady police presence outside of Brown’s home since Thursday and they believe he is still inside his home, passively refusing to surrender.
Per Dash, police have ruled out concerns about Brown's well-being as he has been in touch with several people since the arrest warrant was issued. The free-agent wide receiver has been active on social media, most notably posting an image of himself with a mystery blonde on Snapchat. This was initially thought to be Tom Brady's ex-wife Gisele Bundchen. However, reports now suggest that the woman in the photo is model Cydney Moreau.

What NFL team is Antonio Brown on?
The former All-Pro wide receiver's off-field antics have dominated the news cycle since his bizarre exit from the Buccaneers. He has been linked with a move to multiple teams, but his ever-increasing off-field antics have led to teams distancing themselves from the wide receiver. His behavior has earned him the ire of the NFL world, but that has not discouraged Brown from continuing to test boundaries.
His NFL career is all but over and his future is uncertain. It's now been a week since the arrest warrant against Brown was issued. It remains to be seen how long the troubled star will continue his standoff with the Tampa Police Department.
