The LAPD took singer Chris Brown into custody on Tuesday afternoon after an 11-hour standoff. Authorities said the singer would be charged on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Brown exited his home around 3 p.m. to speak with authorities with lawyer Mark Geragos by his side. Police said Brown was cooperative with authorities.
Brown’s tumultuous day began around 3:00 a.m., when 2016 Miss California Regional State pageant winner Baylee Curran, called 911 saying Brown pointed a gun at her head during an outburst.
According to the Times who interviewed Curran, the singer invited one of her friends to his home and Curran tagged along. She hoped to discuss business opportunities with the singer.
Curran said Brown became enraged after she admired a diamond cross necklace that a jeweler had on display in Brown’s back yard.
“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!’”
According to the Times Curran ran outside, but stopped to retrieve her phone which she handed over earlier as a condition of entering the home. She alleges one of Brown’s associates asked her to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to receive her phone back.
Curran said she snatched the phone and ran away with her friend, hiding under a SUV in the driveway of one of Brown’s neighbors. The neighbor ended up calling the police.
Brown just finished a six-year probation term in March 2015 stemming from the 2009 assault of then- girlfriend Rihanna. Brown was sentenced to complete 1,000 hours of community service and attend anti-domestic violence courses.
The Los Angeles Times writes:
Brown also faced charges in connection with driving without a license and accusations of a hit-and-run. In May 2014, he admitted to violating his probation after committing an assault outside a Washington hotel.
More recently, in June, Brown’s former manager, Michael Guirguis, known as “Mike G,” filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging the singer attacked him.
Brown punched Guirguis four times in the face and neck in an incident May 10, according to the complaint.
