Antonio Brown and his trainer allegedly battered the driver of a moving truck outside his residence here, the Hollywood Police Department said Tuesday.
Brown is a suspect in the alleged incident but is not in custody and has not been arrested, said police officials, who added that the criminal investigation is ongoing.
The trainer, Glen Holt, was charged with one count of felony burglary and battery. He was booked into jail Tuesday evening.
Brown hired the moving truck to bring some of his belongings to his Hollywood home before the disturbance occurred.
Police officers have tried to make contact with Brown but were unsuccessful. The Hollywood PD is reportedly trying to obtain an arrest warrant to question Brown about his involvement but are likely going to wait until Wednesday to do so.
A Hollywood police spokesman said Brown was at home with Holt at the time of the incident and they attempted to make contact with him for further questioning but they were unsuccessful before leaving for the day.
The hope in contacting Brown was to determine whether they would bring battery charges against him, but they could not do that Tuesday.
In general, police say they prefer to deescalate situations where there is no other victim or apparent safety threatened rather than forcing contact to be made and potentially escalating a situation.
