Ex-WR Brown suspect in battery case

-

Former All-Pro wide receiver Antonio Brown is in trouble with the law again.

According to Hollywood, Fla., police, an unidentifi­ed victim is claiming that Brown and the athlete’s trainer, Glen Holt, assaulted him Tuesday afternoon outside Brown’s home inside a gated community.

Holt was arrested and charged with one count of burglary and battery.

Police said Brown is a suspect but hasn’t been charged or arrested. A large police presence was reported outside Brown’s home Tuesday afternoon.

Brown, 31, has been out of the league since the Patriots released him in September amid a lawsuit citing sexual assault. That was shortly after a head-scratching training camp with the Raiders, who traded for the former Steelers star during the offseason but parted ways before he played in a regular season game.

Baseball: The Braves and free-agent OF Marcell Ozuna reached agreement on a one-year, $18 million contract. Ozuna, 29, a two-time All-Star, hit .241 with 29 HRs and 89 RBIs last season for the Cardinals. He hit .429 with two HRs in the Cardinals’ five-game win over the Braves in the NL Division Series.

College football: Ohio State hired Kerry Coombs as its defensive coordinato­r. Coombs served as the Buckeyes’ CBs coach from 2012-17 before spending the last two seasons in the same position for the NFL’s Titans. He replaced Jeff Hafley, who left to become the head coach at Boston College.

Soccer: Angel Vizcay, the former director of Osasuna, told a judge in a match-fixing trial in Spain that the La Liga club made payments to olayers on other teams to help keep Osasuna in the first division in 2012-13 and 2013-14. Osasuna escaped relegation in 2013, but not in 2014. Vizcay was one of 11 people charged in the country’s second recent high-profile match-fixing trial. In December, more than 40 people were cleared of wrongdoing after being accused of fixing a league match at the end of the 2010-11 season.

Tennis: No. 19 seed John Isner had 46 aces and edged Thiago Monteiro of Brazil 6-7 (5), 7-6 (4), 7-6 (7), 7-6 (5) in the first round of the Australian Open in Melbourne. Isner advanced to the second round after failing to do so the last two years.
