Former All-Pro NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown was extradited from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to the U.S. to stand trial for a shooting following a Miami boxing event in May.
Miami police spokesperson Michael Vega confirmed Brown was apprehended on Nov. 6.
On Nov. 7, he’d been moved back to Florida to await charges.
Brown had a hearing in New Jersey and executed a waiver of extradition, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office reportedly notified the Dade County Sheriff’s Office for Brown to be moved to Florida.
In the meantime, Brown will be held in Essex County Jail.
That waiver of extradition means that Brown is relinquishing his right to an extradition hearing. An extradition hearing is held for a judge to determine whether the right person was arrested (typically from another state or country) and that the paperwork involved is correct.
This waiver of extradition means this case will be moved to Florida, the state in which the warrant for Brown’s arrest was issued.
This story will be updated with more information when available.
