Antonio Brown Sued on Assault, Battery Complaints From 2020 Incident

Buccaneers wide receive Antonio Brown is facing a civil lawsuit over allegations of assault and battery, stemming from an altercation with a moving truck driver in January 2020

The lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Florida's Broward County by the driver, Anton Tumanov. The Tampa Bay Times' Matt Baker first reported news of the lawsuit.

Brown pleaded no contest last June to one felony burglary with battery charge and two lesser misdemeanor charges related to the incident. The new civil lawsuit is an extension of a criminal case involving Brown.

Tumanov is seeking more than $30,000 in damages, with the lawsuit alleging Brown "met with resistance and violence" and refused to pay Tumanov.
