Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown has been released from custody in Miami after a judge granted him bond on Wednesday. The development comes as the ex-athlete contests a serious attempted murder charge.
From Jail to House Arrest
The decision to release Brown was made during a court hearing on Wednesday morning. The judge denied a motion from the state to keep the former American football star behind bars, instead setting his bond at $25,000. Brown, who appeared in court wearing a distinctive red prison jumpsuit, was subsequently placed under house arrest as a condition of his release.
A Quick Exit and a Food Truck Stop
On Thursday, the public saw the immediate aftermath of the court's ruling. Antonio Brown was seen walking out of the Miami jail gates, a free man for the time being. His first act upon leaving custody was to embrace his attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, in a relieved hug. Demonstrating a return to everyday life, Brown then headed straight for a local food truck, marking an abrupt shift from incarceration to liberty.
The case continues to develop as Brown prepares his legal defence against the attempted murder allegation. This incident adds another controversial chapter to the former athlete's post-NFL career, which has been marred by several legal and personal controversies.
