An arrest warrant has been issued for Browns wide receiver Josh Gordon, according to Cleveland.com.
The arrest warrant, signed by a judge on August 31, was issued after Gordon failed to respond to "several months worth of subpoenas" in a paternity case.
The case stems from a complaint made in juvenile court from Christina Lockhart of Maple Heights, who says Gordon is the father of her now 1-year-old daughter.
Lockhart filed the complaint July 2, 2015, saying no one else is presumed to be the father, other than Gordon.
Lockhart is on public welfare and is seeking child support from Gordon, according to the complaint filed by Assistant Cuyahoga County Prosecutor Kira Kittoe Krivosh.
According to the report, Gordon was ordered to give a DNA sample in the case before September 25, 2016, but never responded.
Multiple subpoenas were sent to Gordon in multiple states (California and Ohio) and at multiple addresses in Cleveland.
Gordon is currently suspended for the first four games of the season, following his reinstatement by the NFL.
