from www.baltimoresun.com – Former Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Orlando “Zeus” Brown was released on his own recognizance after he was arrested Friday on charges of breaking into his ex-wife’s Cockeysville home in August.

Brown’s attorney had requested that Baltimore County District Court quash the warrant issued Aug. 28 for the former player’s arrest on charges of third-degree burglary and malicious destruction of property valued at less than $500.

According to court documents, Mira Brown accused her former husband of entering her home while she was away on vacation. The two have been divorced since 2004.

While she was on vacation July 21 through Aug. 28, someone broke the front storm door, entered her home, tore down the basement curtains, defecated in a basement toilet and ransacked her closet, according to court documents.

She also received two text messages from Orlando Brown’s phone before she returned, one of which stated that he had toured her house, the records say.

The house is for sale and in foreclosure, according to the motion to quash the warrant. A real estate agent visited the home the day before Mira Brown returned and noted some of the damage. Orlando Brown had also recently filed for immediate custody of their three children.

Orlando Brown’s attorney could not be reached for comment.

The former player, who owns a Fatburger franchise in Elkridge, ended his football career in 2006.
