Free-agent wide receiver Antonio Brown was freed from house arrest by a Florida judge Tuesday as he awaits trial for a felony burglary with battery charge, according to The Associated Press.

Circuit Judge Michael Usan granted Brown permission to travel freely within the United States so he can fulfill contractual obligations with ESPN and comedian Kevin Hart.

The former NFL star's GPS monitor was removed, and he will instead have to check in daily with court personnel.

Brown was released Friday on $110,000 bail, which remains in place. He also has to surrender his passport and firearms and undergo a mental health evaluation.

The 31-year-old was charged last week for an altercation with a moving truck driver, who said he was attacked by Brown and his trainer, Glenn Holt, outside the receiver's home in Hollywood, Florida.

Brown turned himself in to Florida police Thursday after an arrest warrant was issued.
