Brown was detained by police back in May after video surfaced of the former Steeler in a fight at Adin Ross’ boxing event.. According to ESPN, Miami police said officers responded to the area Brown was in after gunshots were detected from the gunshot-detection system ShotSpotter. Brown took to X to explain what happened from his point of view afterwards.
“Regarding the boxing event that happened last night. I was jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me. Contrary to some video circulating, Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED. I will be talking to my legal council and attorneys on pressing charges on the individuals that jumped me. I will keep you all posted step-by-step on the process. Thank you for the support and love.”
