After a bizarre, hours-long stand-off with police, the "No Air" and
"Kiss Kiss" singer was arrested Tuesday afternoon on suspicion of
assault with a deadly weapon after a woman called for help from a
gathering at his home.
The arrest, which occurred outside the view of several news helicopters
that swirled overhead and throngs of camera crews gathered at the
bottom of Brown's hilltop estate, marked the conclusion of nearly
14-hour-long stand-off and investigation by police.
Los Angeles police spokesman Lt. Chris Ramirez said officers first
responded to Brown's property in the Tarzana neighbourhood of Los
Angeles around 3 a.m. He did not identify the woman, elaborate on the
assistance she needed or know if she was injured.
However, model Baylee Curran told the Los Angeles Times that Brown
pointed a gun at her face. She said Brown and another man became angry
with her when she admired the man's diamond necklace. Curran said she
and her friend ran outside as one of Brown's associates gave chase and
hid under a neighbour's SUV.
The model, who hasn't responded to requests for comment from The
Associated Press, also told TMZ she's visited Brown's home in the past
and never encountered any trouble.
