According to Ray Fittipaldo of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, an incident report filed with the Hollywood, Fla. police indicates that Brown shoved the mother of one of his children to the ground and injuring her wrist after she asked to be reimbursed for the child’s haircut.

No charges were filed, but the NFL has confirmed that it is looking into the incident, and has the power to punish Brown even if the legal system does not take action.

Brown’s attorney has dismissed the allegations as “baseless,” but in an already tumultuous offseason for the wide receiver, the threat of league discipline is not at all what he needed.
