Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown was arrested in Dania Beach, Florida, on Sunday for allegedly failing to pay child support to the mother of one of his children.

After identifying himself, the officer found an active arrest warrant for Brown, who was taken into custody at 3:19 p.m. on Sunday, police said. The warrant was a writ of bodily attachment, which is common in child custody cases.
