Antonio Brown was cited by Ross Township police Thursday morning for speeding, just hours before the Steelers were set to host the Panthers at Heinz Field.
As first reported by our partners at WPXI-TV, Brown was traveling southbound on McKnight Road near Babcock Boulevard when the black Porsche he was driving was spotted by police moving at a high rate of speed. An officer was looking for a possible suspect from a bank robbery at the WesBanco in McCandless Crossing at the time Brown was spotted.

Per WPXI, the Steelers had no comment on the event, saying that they are aware of the incident and still gathering information.
This is not the first time in recent years a Steelers player has gotten into hot water on McKnight Road. In 2014, running backs Le'Veon Bell and LeGarrette Blount were pulled over in that same area and cited for marijuana possession while on their way to the airport to catch a team flight to a preseason game against the Eagles.
This also is not the first time this year Brown has had a legal issue. Earlier this year, he was sued in Miami for allegedly throwing furniture off a balcony that nearly hit a man and toddler. Police investigated that issue and did not press charges.
