Who is Wiltrice Jackson? Court issues fresh arrest order for Antonio Brown over unpaid child support

The ruling was issued on August 9 because Wiltrice Jackson, Antonio Brown's ex, claimed he failed to make a $15,000 payment

TAMPA, FLORIDA: Florida law enforcement has been directed to arrest ex-Steelers star Antonio Brown once again for missing yet another child support payment.

According to court documents from Miami-Dade County, the ruling was issued on August 9 because Wiltrice Jackson, Brown's ex, claimed he failed to make a $15,000 payment. The documents state that Brown can resolve the situation by making the payment and adding $5,000 for attorney fees, per TMZ.

Antonio Brown faces second arrest order this year

This is the second time this year that a judge has directed law enforcement to arrest the former NFL star due to unpaid child support.

In April, a similar order was issued when Brown didn't pay $30,000 to Jackson. However, in that instance, Brown paid the owed amount before being taken into custody.

Antonio Brown and Wiltrice Jackson were reported to have dated during the early stages of Brown's football career. They have a daughter together.

Antonio Brown: Long list of controversies

The couple has had their share of ups and downs. In 2019, Brown faced allegations of pushing Jackson to the ground during a dispute. However, he was not charged for this claim.

In a separate incident in 2018, Brown was sued for throwing furniture off the balcony of his Florida apartment, endangering a young child on a patio below. This lawsuit was resolved through an out-of-court settlement, per Daily Mail.

Additionally, in 2018, a Pittsburgh-based doctor named Victor Prisk, who had worked with Brown during his time with the Steelers, sued Brown for unpaid fees totaling $11,500 and for allegedly "farting in his face."

Furthermore, in 2021, Brown faced a lawsuit for reportedly assaulting a security guard at his Florida home. The outcome of this particular case remains unknown. 

In 2022, Antonio Brown faced another controversy when he was accused of appearing naked in front of a woman in the pool area of the Armani Hotel in Dubai.

That December, Tampa police attempted to arrest Brown on domestic violence charges. The charges stemmed from an incident in which he reportedly threw a shoe at his ex during an argument.

In January 2023, Brown's Snapchat account was suspended after he posted an explicit photo of a woman performing oral sex on him. These incidents added to the series of legal and personal issues Brown has faced over the years.
