Former NFL Corner Allegedly Broke Into Girlfriend's House and Threatened to Kill Her

Former NFL cornerback Brandon Browner—who's best known for his time with the Seattle Seahawks—was arrested in La Verne, Calif., Sunday, after allegedly breaking into an ex-girlfriend's house, according to NBC Los Angeles. The La Verne police department says Browner harmed his ex, threatened to kill her, and stole from her.

Per the report, police responded to a call about a man breaking into a home through a locked window shortly after 10 a.m. on Sunday morning. The victim attempted to flee, but Browner allegedly physically forced her back into the residence. At that point, Browner allegedly "physically harmed" and "made threats to kill" the woman. He allegedly took a $20,000 Rolex and fled the scene before police arrived.

Police located him Sunday afternoon and took him into custody. He faces felony charges. His charges include kidnapping, burglary, false imprisonment, and violation of a restraining order. 

Browner, who originates from the L.A. area, has previously been arrested for child endangerment and domestic battery.

He was a consistent starter for three years (2011-13) for Seattle. In 2011, he amassed six interceptions and set the franchise's record for longest INT return for a touchdown with a 94-yard return against the Giants. He scored two touchdowns that season. 

An undrafted free agent out of Oregon State in 2005, he spent some time in the CFL before emerging as part of the Seahawks' renowned defensive backfield. Browner won Super Bowls with Seattle in 2013 and New England in 2014. He last played in the NFL for the Saints in 2015.
