Alicia Denise Brown, the wife of Big Tigger, is facing serious legal trouble after being arrested in Georgia on outstanding kidnapping-related warrants tied to a Maryland child custody case.
According to the Hart County Sheriff’s Office, deputies received a “be on the lookout” alert Monday night for Brown’s vehicle as it traveled along Interstate 85. Authorities later stopped the vehicle near Exit 177 with assistance from the Georgia State Patrol before taking her into custody.
Officers said Brown surrendered without incident. Two children who were riding in the vehicle were safely recovered and were not hurt.
Brown is wanted by the Baltimore County Police Department on kidnapping-related warrants connected to the 2019 disappearance of her daughter, She also faces a felony charge of interference with child custody in Fulton County. Maryland authorities have confirmed they intend to seek her extradition.
Following Brown’s arrest, Williams appeared on an Atlanta radio show, where he revealed he received a call from a detective informing him she had been taken into custody.
Although investigators have not announced that Ailea has been found, Williams said he believes his daughter is alive.
“She’s definitely alive. I can confirm that,” he said. “I’ve always known that.”
Williams admitted the arrest has brought mixed emotions because the person now in custody is still Ailea’s mother.
“I hate it had to be who they have in custody because that’s still her mom,” he said. “All of this was for nothing. All of this was for absolutely nothing.”
The father also thanked everyone who has supported the search for Ailea over the past seven years by sharing her story and helping keep her case in the public eye.
He ended the interview with an emotional message directed to his daughter.
“I still miss you. I can’t wait to see you,” Williams said. “I’m waiting, and I’ll be here, and I’m willing to go at whatever pace you want to go. I miss my daughter.”
Brown’s arrest comes just weeks after she and her husband, Atlanta radio personality Big Tigger, made headlines over their own custody dispute involving the son they share together. The radio host recently spoke publicly about missing his son amid the family’s ongoing legal battle.
Authorities have not released additional information about Ailea whereabouts, and the investigation remains ongoing.
