Antonio Brown Appears in New Jersey Court Ahead of Extradition

Antonio Brown faces a potential sentence of up to 30 years in prison if convicted of attempted second-degree murder with a deadly weapon in Florida. The charge relates to an incident in May, in which he was accused of firing a gun at another man.

Brown's return to South Florida was confirmed after he waived his right to fight extradition during a court session in New Jersey on Friday. According to an Essex County Prosecutor’s Office spokesperson, Brown appeared before Judge Kevin Barry and chose not to contest being sent to Miami.

The hearing was first reported by TMZ. Brown had been extradited earlier that week from Dubai, where he had been living for several months following the shooting, as shown in his social media posts.

The 37-year-old former NFL star was held at Essex County jail while awaiting the final steps of his transfer to South Florida, according to the prosecutor's office.
