Former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown will serve two years of probation, attend a 13-week anger management program and undergo a psychological exam as part of a plea deal relating to a January incident at Brown’s Hollywood home involving a moving company truck driver.

On Friday, Brown changed his plea to no contest on charges of burglary with battery, burglary of an unoccupied conveyance and criminal mischief, which means he will accept the sentence but did not admit guilt.

The order issued by Broward Judge Edward Merrigan Jr. also requires Brown to complete 100 hours of community service and restrict his travel to within the United States for work purposes. Merrigan withheld adjudication, meaning Brown will not be convicted of a crime.

On Jan. 21, the driver of a moving truck arrived at Brown’s Hollywood home to deliver his household goods from California.

Soon after, the driver called police to report a vandalism, saying Brown threw a rock at his truck. The driver told police that Brown paid the $4,000 he owed for moving, but refused to pay $860 for the damage and his time, according to the police report. The driver also told police that Brown grabbed him and pulled him during the struggle.

Recently released dashcam video of the tussle in the cab of the moving company truck showed the reflection of Brown entering the cab and shouting at the driver. Then the video showed what appeared to be a tussle.

Glenn Holt, Brown’s trainer, was arrested on Jan. 21 and charged with one count of burglary with battery.

Brown, who grew up in Liberty City and graduated from Miami Norland Senior High, refused to speak to officers and a warrant was issued for his arrest. The next day Brown turned himself in. He had been out on a $110,000 bond since January 24. He originally pleaded not guilty to all charges.

“Rather than engage in a protracted legal case, Antonio decided to resolve this matter in an expeditious manner,” his attorneys said in a news release Friday.

In recent months, Brown, who was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Oakland Raiders after a 2019 off-season and then released before the season began, has been in the spotlight. He was picked up by the New England Patriots, but was cut after only playing one game. A former trainer filed a lawsuit alleging sexual assault.

Then eight days before the moving company truck incident, Hollywood police were called to Brown’s home after an altercation involving Brown’s ex-girlfriend, Chelsie Kyriss. Brown was not arrested, but police say Brown waved penis-shaped gummy candies at officers while calling them “a bag of d—-.”

Alana Burstyn, an adviser for Antonio, said in a statement Friday that “with this matter now resolved, Antonio looks forward to continuing his cooperation with the NFL and resuming his professional career.”

Carli Teproff grew up in Northeast Miami-Dade and graduated from Florida International University in 2003. She became a full-time reporter for the Miami Herald in 2005 and now covers breaking news.

The two, who had been dating for about a year, were in what witnesses told authorities was a “volatile” relationship, according to the Post-Gazette, and police were summoned to an apartment building shortly after 4 a.m. Saturday. Officers followed a trail of blood to a Mercedes-Benz registered to Pryor. He, along with Briston and two other women, had left for UPMC Mercy, where he was initially described as being in extremely critical condition.

As officers were taking the women to headquarters for questioning, one said “she was just defending herself and had to do it,” the complaint said. Another officer said he heard one of the women say “the only reason I’m here was to make sure that he didn’t die,” and “we should have just let him die.”

Earlier in the evening the couple had gone out for dinner and began to argue with Pryor returning to the apartment and the women going to a club. He was waiting for them in a hallway when they returned to the apartment, according to the complaint, and Pryor allegedly grabbed Briston and a “tussle,” as the complaint described it, began. That’s when Pryor, clutching his chest, ran from the building.

According to the Post-Gazette, Briston had a bruise on her nose and was missing two false fingernails.

Pryor is out of football this season and last month said he would play for no team but the Steelers. A quarterback at Ohio State, he was a supplemental draft pick by the Oakland Raiders in 2011 and his greatest success came as a wide receiver with the Cleveland Browns in 2015 and 2016. He also played for the Washington Redskins, Buffalo Bills, New York Jets and Jacksonville Jaguars, who released him in September.
