“Brown, who had traveled to Mexico, was deported Tuesday and taken into custody by US law enforcement officers near San Diego, the source said, based on an arrest warrant issued in Illinois,” CNN reported. “Police in San Diego are working to transfer Brown from Southern California to the Chicago area, the source said. Mexican law enforcement officers have known Brown’s whereabouts since at least September 19, the source said, and deported him after authorities in Illinois finally obtained an arrest warrant pertaining to the death of Brown’s mother.”
Now 35 years old, Brown began his NFL career with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent in 2010. He spent two seasons in New England and appeared in 30 games, including a Super Bowl XLVI loss to the Giants. From there, the safety spent time with the Colts, Jaguars, Falcons and Bills before retiring following the 2016 season.
