you should probably check the bolts holding the caliper to the mount. I would wager one is either missing or very loose. does it shudder at all while you are driving normally? it sounds like the classic case of a drum brake that is not properly installed. Either way, it wouldnt hurt to check the brakes in the rear.

A leaky wheel cylinder can cause the brake linings to swell and grab also. Definitely pull it down and have a look.
