The incident dates back to February 2020, when Tumanov went to Brown’s Florida home to make a delivery. The truck driver alleged that the ex-Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver assaulted him during the delivery. In his 2021 suit against Brown, Tumanov alleged that the 2020 Super Bowl champion assaulted him while also damaging his vehicle.

The jury has awarded Tomanov $407,000 for his medical expenses. He also got $793,000 as compensation for the pain and suffering he went through. The police had charged Brown on three counts after Tomanov’s initial complaint in 2020. AB then agreed to a settlement with the authorities. The settlement got the case dropped while Brown agreed to the terms of probation, community service, and anger management classes.
