Former NFL receiver Antonio Brown is wanted by authorities in Miami-Dade County on a criminal charge of attempted murder. The charge stems from a shooting at a celebrity boxing event in May.

A judge signed the warrant Wednesday with a charge of attempted murder with a firearm, according to The Washington Post. It also calls for Brown to post a $10,000 bond and stay under house arrest pending a trial. Former NFL cornerback Adam “Pacman” Jones, who lined up opposite of Brown during their respective careers, said Friday he expects Brown to be “on the run” for longer than three days.

“We in the barbershop having barbershop talk,” Jones said. “How long you think AB gonna be on the run? Like, from this time right now, it’s 1:35. … I bet you it gonna be longer than that [72 hours]. I ain’t no lawyer here so he ain’t lawyered up, which is a dumb thing.”

The warrant, obtained by The Washington Post, said officers responded to a report of gunshots outside a venue just before midnight May 16. An off-duty officer who was working security during the boxing event said he left after learning of the sound of gunfire. He added he saw Brown in a physical altercation with another man.

People in the parking lot said Brown was the shooter. However, the warrant said officers didn’t find a weapon when they patted him down.

The warrant also said Miami detectives obtained footage appearing to show Brown punching another man. It later appears to show him taking the gun from a security officer and running toward that man. Cell phone video also showed two gun shots as Brown headed toward the victim and the victim ducking.

The alleged victim told detectives that after the initial fight broke up, Brown “began to run toward him with a firearm” and shot twice – potentially grazing his neck. A struggle began, and police arrived before Brown walked away.

The event in question is the same one after which Antonio Brown was handcuffed following an altercation. Video obtained by TMZ appeared to show him being “aggressively pulled to the ground” before getting up, kicking the individual who tackled him and attempting to “escape the chaos” that ensued. Brown addressed the situation on social media the next day. He claimed he was “jumped” by multiple people who attempted to steal jewelry.

Jones, meanwhile, pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the criminal charges he was hit with following his arrest last weekend. He is currently facing three charges – one count of assaulting a police officer, one count of public intoxication and one count of disorderly conduct – after officers say he was causing a disturbance outside a bar in Northern Kentucky on June 7.

Police claimed that Jones showed signs of intoxication and was “screaming obscenities” at officers. When police arrested him and took him to a nearby jail, Jones allegedly elbowed an officer in the face. A rep for Jones denied the allegations this week: “Adam did nothing wrong other than exercise his right to ask why he was being detained.” Jones is due back in court in early July.
