Antonio Brown Brazenly Responds To Attempted Murder Charge With 'I'm Out Of The Country' Announcement

Brown, according to his warrant, is instructed to post a $10,000 bond and remain at his house until trial.
We assume he hasn't posted the bond.
And based on his own claim, we assume he's not at his house.
Why not?
Because rather than turn himself into police, the ex-Pittsburgh Steelers standout is brazenly announcing that he's no longer in the United States.
Posted Brown on social media on Saturday night: 'I'm out the country ain't no more Child Support tell your mama get a job.'
Brown may be joking; it's never easy to tell.
A previous series of statements demonstrate that as Brown had to the arrest warrant with a bunch of posts on X, including a video of him in boxing gloves, riding a bike, and another picture accusing somebody else who "did it".

Brown was detained by police after gunshots were supposedly fired at the boxing event. But now, according to the warrant, witnesses have told police officers that Brown was the shooter, and that two shell casings were found at the scene. One man involved in the conflict alleged that Brown "began to run toward him with a firearm" and shot at him twice.
For Brown, 36, this is the latest in a disturbing string of incidents tying to legal and behavioral issues since the controversial end to his NFL career where he marched off the field as a member of the Tampa Bay Bucs and was released.

Man charged with killing an 'American Idol' exec and husband will undergo mental evaluation
LOS ANGELES (AP) — A man charged with fatally shooting an 'American Idol' music supervisor and her husband in their Los Angeles home will undergo mental evaluation to determine whether he's fit to stand trial, a judge ruled Wednesday. Raymond Boodarian, 22, was set to be arraigned in a courthouse in Los Angeles but did not enter a plea. A judge suspended the criminal proceedings against him while a psychiatrist examines him to determine his competency. He's charged with two counts of murder in the killing of longtime 'American Idol' producer Robin Kaye and her husband Thomas Deluca, both 70, who were shot when they came home unexpectedly during a burglary on July 10. A judge at a court that specializes in mental health will consider the evaluation and decide whether Boodarian will proceed toward trial or be placed in a state hospital. Boodarian stood behind a window in a custody area of the courtroom, and appeared to try to remain out of sight. His attorney declined comment, and the district attorney's office had no immediate comment. Boodarian will undergo the same evaluation in the same small courthouse on Hollywood Boulevard where a man charged with stalking Jennifer Aniston and driving into the front gate of her home was recently found to be not competent to go to trial. Police said they responded to a 911 call about a burglary at the home of Kaye and Deluca in the Encino neighborhood of Los Angeles. Police said they found no sign of forced entry or other trouble and left. Four days later the couple's bodies were found, shot to death, when officers carried out a welfare check at the home. Boodarian was arrested the following day. District Attorney Nathan Hochman later said in a community meeting that investigators believe the couple arrived home unexpectedly while Boodarian was burglarizing it. He shot them with their own gun and later called 911 himself, Hochman said. Kaye had been with 'American Idol' for more than 15 years and was working on the upcoming season of the hit singing competition TV series at the time of her death. She had also worked in the music departments of several other productions, including 'The Singing Bee,' 'Hollywood Game Night,' 'Lip Sync Battle,' and several Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants.

Hundreds of Chicago Target workers fired over alleged fraud — how a 'glitch in the system' led to $1M+ stolen
Hundreds of employees at a Target distribution hub in Chicago have been fired, news outlets report, after allegedly exploiting a glitch in the company's health care loan program — costing the retailer more than $1 million. According to Block Club Chicago, the flaw allowed workers to borrow $3,000 and erase the balance after repaying just $50. Word of the loophole spread quickly through the Target Flow Center, and employees started joining in on the scheme. Don't miss Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says this 7-step plan 'works every single time' to kill debt, get rich in America — and that 'anyone' can do it Charles Thrush, who first reported the story, says one person 'found a glitch in the system' and encouraged others to cash in, turning the scheme into a personal payday. 'He would charge $200 to $300, basically, for all these people to get their loans,' Thrush told WGN News in a story published Aug. 19. How widespread was it? Thrush estimates that between 400 and 700 workers were fired over a two-week period from the end of July into August. Target has not confirmed the exact number of terminations but said in a statement to both news outlets: 'Following an internal investigation, we have terminated team members found to be in violation of our company's code of ethics.' For the Target employees involved, it's unclear whether criminal charges will follow. Block Club Chicago reports the scheme may have cost the company over $1 million.

In Illinois, health care fraud is typically prosecuted as a Class 4 felony — carrying penalties of up to three years in prison and fines of as much as $25,000 for individuals, according to law firm Dolci & Weiland. Health care fraud isn't limited to corporate benefits programs. The FBI estimates it costs the U.S. tens of billions of dollars each year, with schemes ranging from double billing — submitting multiple claims for the same service — to phantom billing for services never provided, or 'upcoding,' where providers bill for more expensive procedures than those actually performed. These practices can drive up costs for businesses, insurers and consumers. The real price of easy money Some former workers told WGN News they were blindsided by the terminations, insisting they thought they were taking advantage of a benefit that offered fast cash, which they would repay over time. Others said they were shocked to learn a fraud scheme was happening at all. 'I know they're hiring extremely mad right now. Every Tuesday and Friday you see new classes and new faces, like, every single day,' Target employee Matthew Clarke told WGN News. 'They're definitely paying enough to where you shouldn't even have to worry about trying to steal.' Target told the local broadcaster it has introduced new safeguards to prevent similar abuse and that the firings won't affect day-to-day operations. Employee loan programs and workplace perks can be a valuable resource, but they're not free money. Read the terms closely, track your repayments and ask HR to clarify anything that seems vague. If you notice a loophole that looks too good to be true, resist the urge to test it out — exploiting it could cost you your job, your reputation or even your freedom. And if you suspect a program or offer might be a scam, report it right away to your employer or the appropriate authority.
