An unidentified woman is claiming Chris Brown threatened her with a gun during an argument at the singer’s Los Angeles home early August 30, where police found weapons and drugs.

Police Lt. Chris Ramirez told reporters that the call came early Tuesday from outside the residence in the Tarzana neighbourhood.
Chris Brown on Instagram August 30. Because of high- profile nature of the case, the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division was called in to handle the investigation.
Ramirez didn’t say what assistance the woman needed.
Chris Brown is a suspect in a criminal assault investigation after a woman called 911 and told cops … he threatened her with a gun … Around 1 p.m., police served the warrant, and people inside the home were being brought into a front courtyard, where they were searched by waiting officers. The deputy chief predicted the situation could be “long and protracted”.
Calls and emails seeking comments from Geragos and other representatives were not returned Tuesday.
Brown, 27, posted three videos to his social media accounts earlier Tuesday.
He said he was “innocent” although he didn’t further specify.
“I don’t care. Y’all gonna stop playing with me like I’m the villain out here, like I’m going insane”, Brown said in one Instagram video, waving a cigarette and looking at the camera.
He also took time to urge fans to buy his latest, Grass Ain’t Greener. Brown posted multiple videos to his official Instagram page addressing the incident. He called the police “idiots” and said “I’m exhausted of dealing with you all”.
It’s not the first time the singer has been involved in a domestic dispute – he was infamously convicted of felony assault in 2009 after violently attacking then-girlfriend Rihanna.
As a convicted felon (Brown pleaded guilty), under California’s strict gun laws, Brown would lose the right to possess a firearm.
Authorities have since surrounded Brown’s home, awaiting word on the warrant.

R&B singer Chris Brown has put a swift end to an alleged gun threat accusation. No police report was filed. “I’m not running from politics… what I do care about is you’re defacing my name, my character, and my integrity”, he says in one expletive-laden video. His most recent record to chart, according to Billboard, was Back to Sleep, which peaked at 20 back in March.
