Video footage obtained by TMZ shows former NFL player, Sergio Brown getting into it with Mexican authorities on Sunday as they were trying to extradite him back to the United States.
Brown can be heard screaming he’s being kidnapped during the incident, which occurred on a flight that was supposed to take him to Tijuana. He was being extradited back to the United States to face murder charges in the death of his mother, Myrdle Brown, 73. “They’re kidnapping me… I’m from Chicago,” Brown yells inside the jet plane. “I should not be going to Tijuana.”

Two Mexican authorities are seen on the video tussling with the former NFL player while he yells “Let me go. This is kidnapping,” Brown said.
Michelle Williams who originally took the footage spoke about the situation saying, “It was crazy just to hear him start yelling that he was being kidnapped, that these men were kidnapping him. And I’m just thinking, what is going on?” Williams said.
Williams said it took an hour and a half for officers to get Brown off the plane. He was eventually brought to Tijuana and arrested Tuesday at the San Ysidro border crossing.
If your not familiar with the story, Brown, 35, had been missing for the past month and posted on his Instagram account that his mother’s murder was fake news. Then, in early October, TMZ Sports said it obtained video of Brown dancing and partying in Tulum, Mexico.
Brown remains in the downtown San Diego jail being held without bail. He has waived his right to an extradition hearing. Officers have 30 days to pick him up and transport him back to Illinois to face murder charges.
