Chris Brown is in trouble with the law, again – after he was arrested following a tense standoff with police at his Los Angeles residence.
A woman reported Brown to the police Tuesday, claiming the performer had threatened her with a gun at his house due to an argument over jewellery.
The police arrived at Brown’s house all through Tuesday, but he refused them entry, claiming they should obtain a warrant before he’ll let them inside.
The LAPD and a SWAT team reportedly surrounded the house whilst the warrant was being obtained, and TMZ reports the singer has been arrested, to be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, a felony.
TMZ added that Brown threw a duffel bag outside his window during the standoff, a bag which allegedly contained drugs and weapons.
According to MTV, “the alleged victim is Baylee Curran, actress and 2016 winner of the Miss California Regional beauty pageant.”
Curran gave the LA Times her account of the incident…
The woman, Baylee Curran, told The Times that Brown pointed a gun at her during a violent rage before she ran outside. Curran said she and a friend went to Brown’s home with a business associate, who was invited by the musician. She wanted to talk to Brown about future projects, she said.
Inside the home, a few people were milling about and talking, she recounted. She eventually went to Brown’s backyard to get some fresh air. Her confrontation with the musician erupted soon after she walked back into the house, she said.
A man was showcasing diamond bracelets, necklaces and watches inside the home, and Curran said she was admiring the jewelry.
“I don’t know if it was Chris’ friend or how he was related, but that’s when he told me to back away from the diamond necklace and started cussing me out and calling me names,” she said. “That’s when Chris pulled his gun and told me to ‘Get out,’ he said. ‘I’m sick of you girls, get the F out!’”
Curran said she fled outside with a friend, but they were forced to wait by the home’s gate until Brown’s associates retrieved her phone — which she had to hand over as a condition of entering the residence, she said. One of Brown’s associates walked over with the phone but said he’d return it only if she signed a nondisclosure agreement, she said.
Curran said she refused, snatched her phone from the man’s hand and ran away. The man ran to a Jeep to give chase, but Curran and her friend escaped to a neighbor’s property and hid under an SUV when the Jeep drove by, she said. The neighbor contacted police.
Brown has reportedly been released on $250,000 bail.
