Cleveland.com’s Adam Ferrise is reporting that the warrant was issued after Gordon allegedly failed to respond to “several” subpoenas in a paternity case.
Cleveland.com and WOIO Channel 19 in Cleveland reported that the warrant was issued August 31 after Gordon failed to respond to several subpoenas over the course of a year demanding he take a DNA test. Gordon was a star receiver at Baylor as well, before former head coach Art Briles suspended him indefinitely for failing a drug test. Christina Lockhart of Maple Heights made a complaint in juvenile court saying Gordon is the father of her 1-year-old daughter.
The Browns, the NFL, Addidas and powerful sports agent Drew Rosenhaus, who represents Gordon, were also issued subpoenas in the case.

Gordon was ordered to provide a DNA sample, and had until September 25, 2015, to do so. “Gordon never responded to them, according to court records”, Cleveland.com reported on Wednesday.
