LOS ANGELES -- Former NFL cornerback Brandon Browner was arrested after police say he broke into the Southern California house of an ex-girlfriend who has a restraining order against him.
Police say Browner broke into the house, threatened to kill the woman and stole a Rolex watch valued at about $20,000.
Browner was arrested Sunday in La Verne, which is about 30 miles east of Los Angeles.
Browner, 33, is from nearby Pomona and played football for Oregon State before signing with the Seattle Seahawks in 2011. He later played for the New England Patriots when they won the Super Bowl after the 2014 season.
Browner was previously arrested for domestic violence.
It wasn't immediately clear if he had a lawyer.
