After three years in a Chinese
prison for allegedly assaulting a man during a bar fight, Brown returned home Wednesday to the hugs and smiling faces of his loved ones.
Brown, who played at Martin Luther King Jr. High School in Detroit and Ball State University in Indiana, was teaching English and coaching
American football in southwestern
China when he was arrested in September 2016 and charged with intentional assault.
"I was devastated," his mother, Antoinette Brown, told the AP.
