Shannon Brown Arrested After Firing Rifle At Couple Entering His ‘For Sale’ Home

During his nine-year NBA career, Shannon Brown was mostly know for his highlight dunks. Even though, the two-time NBA champion mostly played limited minutes, he was very present on the daily and weekly highlight reels.

While Brown tried to find another NBA roster spot by playing in the G-League two years ago, he’s now put his sneakers on the wall. 

But while his sneakers are on the wall, Brown himself currently is behind bars. On May 2, Brown was charged with aggravated assault after firing a rifle in the direction of two people. The entire story though, is somewhat wild.

Per The Citizen:

Tyrone Police Department spokesman Philip Nelson said a man and woman who said they were looking for homes for sale at approximately 6 p.m. stopped at a home in the River Oaks subdivision off Ga. Highway 74. The home has a for sale sign outside, Nelson added.

The couple told police the gate to the property was open, as was the front door, Nelson said, adding that the couple maintained they announced their presence as they entered the home, and that someone inside the home said, “Come in.”

At one point, Brown emerged holding a rifle, with the couple telling police they withdrew from the house and that Brown fired five or six rounds in their direction as they were leaving, Nelson said.
