Brown, however, barricaded himself inside the home and refused to come out, before the arrest marked the conclusion of almost 14-hour-long stand-off and investigation by police.

Brown’s accuser, Baylee Curran, told the Los Angeles Times that the altercation began when she looked at some jewelry another man was offering Brown for sale.

Police were called to the residence after a woman, pageant queen Baylee Curran, called 911 to claim that Brown had pointed a gun at her during a fit of rage inside his home.
