BUFFALO, N.Y. The man accused in a high-speed crash that killed two people in South Buffalo in October 2019 is facing another driving charge for a separate incident.
Antonio Brown, 35, was arraigned Thursday morning in Buffalo City Court on one count of Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle. The Erie County District Attorney s office says Brown was stopped in November, 2020 for driving without a license in a vehicle with tinted windows.
Brown s license had been revoked in August 2020 after his arraignment in connection with the fatal crash. Brown was allegedly behind the wheel of a Maserati and under the influence of alcohol and speeding when his car collided with another on Seneca Street near Pomona Place. Two people in the other vehicle, 33-year-old Anthony Twentyfive, III, and his passenger, 32-year-old Kristin N. LaBruno, were killed in the crash.

Now, prosecutors say he violated terms of his bail.
According to the Erie County District Attorney s Office, Brown was picked up for driving without a license on Main Street in Buffalo. That was back in November. Still, he s walking free. The law, as it s written, is against pre-trail detention, said retired State Supreme Court Justice Penny Wolfgang. Cash bail was set there was a death. The new charge, driving without a license, cash bail is not permitted under those charges.
Wolfgang says, with these latest charges and the current bail reform laws a judge can only change the stipulations to Brown s $50,000 bail. The judge could not revoke that bail and send him back to jail.
