Former NFL player Sergio Brown has been arrested in connection with his mother’s death after being seen partying in Mexico in the wake of her death, according to a report.
He was deported from the country on Tuesday and taken into custody near San Diego based on an arrest warrant issued in Illinois, an unidentified law enforcement source told CNN.

Police in San Diego are now reportedly working to transfer the former pro-footballer from Southern California to the Chicago area, where his mother, Myrtle, was found dead in her home last month.


Authorities discovered Myrtle’s body after relatives alerted the Maywood Police Department that they were unable to find or contact her or her son.


The Cook County Medical Examiner’s Office later determined the 73-year-old died from injuries related to an assault, and declared her death a homicide.

Former NFL player Sergio Brown, who was arrested for first-degree murder in connection to his mother’s death, fought with Mexican officers on a plane Sunday in Mexico City while they tried to extradite him back to the United States, according to a video shown on CBS8 in San Diego.
Michelle Williams, a resident of Lakeside Calif., shot the video while the Aeromexico plane was on the tarmac.
Williams and her family were on their way back when Brown started talking out loud and fighting with two officers at his seat on a plane headed for Tijuana.
“They’re kidnapping me again … I’m from Chicago,” Brown said before pushing one of the officers. “I should not be going to Tijuana.
“Let me go. This is kidnapping.”
Brown was not handcuffed, according to Williams, and it took the officers approximately 90 minutes to get him off the plane.
A doctor tried to help calm Brown down and offered the former safety a glass of water.

He also posted a rant on Instagram in September that appeared to reference the missing persons report filed by his family.


“What the f–k? Missing? They ain’t never seen ‘Finding Nemo’? What the f–k is going on? This is traumatic. Lucky I don’t have to say a joke. You … what the f–k? Just keep swimming,” Brown said.
