Following a profanity-laced incident outside his home—which was streamed live on social media—disgraced NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown is no longer welcome as either a donor or a volunteer at the Hollywood (FL) Police Department's Police Athletic League.

According to Fox News, the incident on Monday involved Brown and his ex-girlfriend, who had stopped at Brown's home to collect her children's clothes after Brown had evicted her from the house.

"We made the decision to sever ties between Mr. Brown and the Hollywood Police Athletic League," public information officer Christian Lata said in a statement. "We did not want our youth to be subject to this type of behavior nor emulate the actions of Mr. Brown."

Brown was given a trespass warning because the department "did not want him to continue to affect our youth nor influence them in a negative way."

The agency also returned Brown's $5,000 donation to the PAL.
