Chad Johnson warrant: Former wide receiver Chad Johnson is on the lam.

The Broward Sheriff’s Office issued an arrest warrant for Johnson, a former NFL star, after he apparently failed to report for probation for three months in a row. He also failed to enroll in a domestic abuse intervention program, reports CBS Fort Lauderdale.

Johnson was on probation from a deal with prosecutors after he head butted his former wife in fall 2012.

A judge issued the warrant on May 7, according to TMZ. Once Johnson is taken into custody, he may face jail time, depending on the outcome of a hearing. Johnson’s lawyer didn’t respond to a request for comment.
