Antonio Brown, a former wide receiver for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, saw his NFL career end abruptly last season during a game against the New York Jets. He went off the field midway through the game after having an enormous breakdown.
Since then, he has repeatedly courted controversy by insulting Tom Brady, publishing doctored intimate photos of his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, and courting legal issues after Tampa Police issued an arrest warrant for him for abuse in a domestic violence incident. The police visited his residence, but a warrant for an arrest has not yet been carried out.
Sam Brock of NBC News reports that the police have made many attempts to apprehend Antonio Brown. However, the police do not regard the situation as a standoff. His ex-wife was the acquisition after they had an argument on Monday, November 28th.

The police report stated that Brown threw a show at her and tried to evict the victim from the residence and locked her out of the home. According to the Tampa Police report-
"The suspect exited the residence and threw a shoe at the victim striking her in the ponytail. The victim had no injuries but believed the shoe was meant for her head. The suspect would not open the door or come outside to speak with officers. The suspect also during this incident attempted to issue an informal eviction to the victim."
Brown isn't communicating with the police and they are unsure whether he is even in his house. They don't want to jeopardize the safety of the officers for a minor offense, and an arrest is yet to be made.
