HOLLYWOOD, Fla. — Antonio Brown threw a rock at a moving truck driver before the alleged battery outside of his home Tuesday, according to court documents obtained by TMZ.
According to TMZ, the court records show that Brown later forced his way into the driver’s side of the main cabin and began to physically strike him after a disagreement over payment escalated. He was then restrained by his associates.
Brown remains at his home, not in custody or arrested, as of Wednesday evening despite police attempts to contact him regarding the incident.
Police told ESPN that it is still an ongoing investigation and they hoped to have a further update on the case Thursday morning.
The court documents detail how the moving company was hired by Brown to deliver belongings the free-agent receiver had stored in California to his Hollywood home.
Brown allegedly refused to pay the $4,000 fee initially causing the driver to attempt to leave with the property still in his truck and that’s when the driver said Brown threw the rock denting and causing paint damage to the driver’s side of the vehicle. The driver then called police to report the damage.
Later, the documents say, the moving company told the driver to drop off the goods because Brown agreed to pay the fee plus damages he caused but upon arrival Brown paid the $4,000 fee but refused to pay more.
Another argument ensued and that’s when the driver claims that Brown assaulted him and Brown’s trainer, Glenn Holt, attempted to grab his keys from the ignition to open the truck and get Brown’s belongings causing cuts and scratches on the driver.
Holt, who was arrested on a felony burglary with battery charge Tuesday, posted a $20,000 bond and should be released Wednesday night.
Police told ESPN that they made several attempts to speak with Brown about the incident Tuesday but the receiver went back into his homeand ignored knocks at the door and phone calls from police.
The hope in contacting Brown was to determine whether they would bring battery charges against him, but of Wednesday evening that had not been done.
Brown’s home is located in a gated community in Hollywood where multiple neighbors told ESPN they have been fed up with the antics coming from the home, including multiple police encounters this month.
