Former NFL star Antonio Brown was released from a Miami-Dade County jail after being granted bond on an attempted murder charge Thursday.
Brown, 37, was granted a $25,000 bond, placed under house arrest and ordered to wear an ankle monitor on Wednesday.
Brown hugged his lawyer, Mark Eiglarsh, after leaving the jail. He then went to a food truck that was stationed outside the jail exit and told reporters, "God is great."

Brown pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder charge in connection with a May shooting. According to an arrest warrant, the former star wide receiver was accused of grabbing a handgun from a security officer and firing two shots at a man with whom he had fought earlier.
Eiglarsh said in the bond hearing that it was Brown's own gun that was fired - a "concealed weapon" - and said that the two shots he fired were not at the alleged victim, Zul-Qarnain Kwame Nantambu.

Kwame Nantambu told investigators initially that he thought he was grazed by a bullet, but prosecutors told the presiding judge over the bond hearing that she didn't believe the alleged victim was actually hit.
Prosecutors sought pretrial detention, contending that Brown was a successful NFL player with ample resources to flee, but that request was denied. Brown made over $80 million in his NFL career, according to Spotrac.com.
Brown played in the NFL for 12 seasons and was selected to seven Pro Bowls while being named an All-Pro four times. He won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020.
The former Pittsburgh Steelers star has 928 career catches for 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns.
