Officers descended on the former NFL star's $8 million Hollywood, Florida mansion on Tuesday afternoon, where Brown had reportedly hired a moving truck to bring some of his possessions to his home.

Footage showed a man standing in front of a moving truck lifting his shirt to have his stomach photographed by police.

A Hollywood Police spokesman told reporters that Brown was at home with Holt at the time of the incident.

Police said they had attempted to make contact with Brown for questioning, but we unsuccessful in reaching the NFL player before the end of the day.

By speaking to Brown, police will determine whether they will be able to bring battery charges against him.

A criminal investigation is ongoing and an update on Brown's status is expected from police by noon Wednesday.

MULTIPLE INCIDENTS

This is now the that police have been called to the mansion since November, and in each instance they have been responding to a domestic incident.

The first incident happened in November, when Antonio's then-girlfriend called police following an argument that ended with him running off with her car keys.

Chelsie Kyrsis was advised of her rights and told to call police if there was a problem, which there seemed to be a month later when officers again arrived at the home.

On December 14, Chelsie said that she was unable to get her keys back from Antonio, who stayed on the scene and told police that the Bentley his ex wanted the keys to did not belong to her.

She argued however that it was hers and was given as a gift.

Chelsie then gave police video evidence of Antonio giving her the car wrapped in a bow according to the incident report.

That is when Antonio had his friend walk out with children's clothing for his three sons and told his ex and children to leave the property.

After that incident, a donation Antonio had made to a youth football league was to him and the NFL star was served with a notice that he was not to attend any of the organisation's events moving forward.

The Sun spoke with the Hollywood Police Department who explained how they came to that decision at the time.

"We did not want our youth to be subject to this type of behavior nor emulate the actions of Mr. Brown. In accordance with the decision, on January 9, 2020, we returned the check that Mr. Brown donated to the Hollywood Police Athletic League for our 7 on 7 Football League," said Officer Christian Lata.

"It should be noted that the league was running and operating since last year, well before Mr. Brown made his donation. This league was not dependent on his donation or involvement."

Officer Lata then added: "We will not take money from a donor that we cannot have our youth be proud of or represent our organization."

He then explained that in addition to returning the money, Antonio was told he was no longer welcome to be involved in league activities.

"Mr. Brown was given a trespass warning for the Police Athletic League property because we did not want him to continue to affect our youth nor influence them in a negative way," explained Officer Lata.

 Antonio is now a suspect in the incident while a friend of the athlete was reportedly arrested.

A few days later, police were called to Antonio's property for the third time.

"On January 13, 2020, the department responded to a Domestic Disturbance at the residence of Mr. Brown. During the incident, Mr. Brown was very rude and disrespectful. He used very degrading language in front of his young children," stated Officer Lata.

"Again, not an example that we want the youth of Hollywood to witness nor emulate. Mr. Brown is free to say whatever he likes on social media. However, the facts of these instances speak for
themselves."

Antonio went after his ex once again during this third incident, and video shows her standing by looking annoyed but in no way surprised by Antonio's actions.

"She's here to take the kids to school, not no vehicle," Antonio tells police when they arrive at his $8 million mansion.

"This b**** is broke, she don't drive Bentleys. You see this, sir? That's a f*****g Bentley. This b**** is broke, with two other kids. That b**** got nothing. She don't have no Bentley. She's staying at a hotel. Ask her where she's staying! Ask her!"

Police then ask if the car had been a gift from Antonio to his ex, which prompts him to launch into another expletive-laden rant.

"This b**** f****g here from the hotel don't have nothing," replies Antonio.

"She came here to take the kids to school, the kids not getting to school. She don't have no car. ... Look at her, she's a f*****g lost cause, look at her!"

Then, Antonio began to throw phallic-shaped gummies at officers, something he had done during his previous run-in with police at his home.

Those gummies were also thrown at his ex as he filmed himself screaming 'have a bag of d***s.'
