Nov 22, 2021; Tampa, Florida, USA; Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown (81) during the first quarter against the New York Giants at Raymond James Stadium.

Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown must wear a GPS ankle monitor and await trial at home after posting a $25,000 bail, the Associated Press reported Nov. 12.

Brown pleaded not guilty to a second-degree murder charge stemming from an alleged shooting outside of an internet-celebrity boxing match on May 16.

The arrest warrant – authorities finally extradited Brown back to the United States after he spent months in Dubai, United Arab Emirates – said Brown grabbed a security officer's gun at the scene and fired shots. One person told authorities a bullet grazed his neck.

Brown's defense attorney, Mark Eiglarsh, argued that it was Brown's own weapon used in self-defense and that the shots were not aimed at anybody.

Brown appeared virtually at Wednesday's hearing and could face a prison sentence of up to 15 years if convicted. Prosecutors, according to the Associated Press, argued for Brown to remain in pre-trial detention since he posed a flight risk. Eiglarsh said Brown had various business interests in Dubai.

“He no longer has a passport. He’ll be living at his home. I look forward to working with him zealously on this case,” Eiglarsh told Circuit Judge Mindy Glazer at the bond hearing, per the AP.
