According to a Miami Herald report published on Monday, Tampa Bay’s newest receiver Antonio Brown was involved in an incident at his gated community in Hollywood, Florida last month where Brown “angrily” destroyed a security camera and threw a bicycle at a security-guard shack.

Per details given in The Herald’s report, the incident occurred on Oct. 15 and the Hollywood Police Department “exceptionally cleared” the case on Nov. 5. Police initially determined that there was probable cause to charge Brown with misdemeanor criminal mischief, however no charges were filed and Brown agreed to replace the broken camera.

Still, complications from the matter could arise as it relates to Brown’s probation and his adherence to the NFL’s personal conduct policy. According to Miami Herald Crime and Justice reporter David Ovalle, who broke the story, Brown could possibly have violated probation with the Broward State Attorney’s office.

There’s also the issue of what the NFL was aware of in regards to Brown’s conduct off the field, as ESPN’s Jenna Laine pointed out shortly after news of the star receiver’s latest incident broke. Brown is fresh off an eight-week suspension to begin the 2020 NFL season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy.

The Bucs released a statement on Brown, which sounds like they were aware of the situation before signing Brown, who flew to Tampa Bay eight days after the alleged incident.

The Bucs officially signed Brown on October 27, with head coach Bruce Arians citing the fact that he thought the former Steelers, Raiders and Patriots wide receiver had “matured”. Brown has 10 catches for 100 yards and zero touchdowns in two games with the Bucs.
