Former NFL Player Browner Arrested For Allegedly Assaulting Ex-Girlfriend
LA VERNE (CBSLA) — Former NFL player Brandon Browner was arrested by La Verne police Sunday amid accusations he assaulted his ex-girlfriend.
Officers responded to a call of a male who broke into a residence through a locked window shortly after 10 a.m. Sunday.
The male was identified as Browner, 33, who is from Pomona.
Police say Browner fled the scene prior to officers arriving.
