The Camden man accepted a plea deal after stealing a luxury car from the Eagles wide receiver's home.
The New Jersey man who stole a luxury car from Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown’s house and drove it to Camden will spend half a decade in prison.
Luis Segurra, 26, of Camden, pled guilty Friday in Camden County Superior Court to third-degree receiving of a stolen vehicle, second-degree unlawful possession of a weapon and fourth degree resisting arrest.
As part of his plea deal, Segurra was sentenced to five years in prison, and was ordered to stay away from Brown and his Haddonfield residence. He’ll be eligible for parole after serving one year.
Segurra was also sentenced to fourth-degree theft from a separate incident in Burlington County.
As Judge James Bucci presided over the proceeding, Segurra stood in a blue prison jumpsuit, listening as the charges were read. Segurra declined to speak before the sentencing.
Last April, Segurra stole a 2022 Mercedes GLE Maybach from Brown’s home in Haddonfield, prosecutors said. Brown took to social media to ask whoever had stolen the vehicle to return it to his residence, and he would not press charges. However, the car was not initially returned.
According to the criminal complaint filed by Camden County police, unbeknownst to Segurra, the vehicle was equipped with a GPS system and was tracked by Brown, who relayed its location to authorities. The car ultimately ended up in Camden, where Segurra resides.
When officers from the Camden County Police Department arrived near the intersection of Louis and Morton streets in Camden, they found Segurra in the vehicle, the complaint said. Segurra got out of the passenger side and attempted to flee, but officers caught and arrested him.
After the car was recovered, Brown joked in a since-deleted post about the incident.
“See, I told you to just turn the car back in. Just turn it in and now you’ve got to deal with the consequences,” Brown said in the since-deleted post.
Brown also made light of the moment, recalling what his son said when he saw the police who were assisting him.
“This morning, when we were talking to the police, my son said ‘Dada, Dada, Paw Patrol, Paw Patrol,” Brown recalled. “I said everybody has jokes this morning, huh.”
Brown has been with the Eagles for four seasons, being named to the Associated Press’ All-Pro second-team in three of those years and being named to the Pro Bowl twice. This past season, Brown caught 78 passes for 1,003 yards and seven touchdowns.
