Washington D.C. [USA], Aug. 31: Soon after crooner Chris Brown was arrested on suspicion of assaulting a girl with a deadly weapon, the victim Baylee Curran narrated her harrowing experience. “The incident involved the residence of Mr. Chris Brown, where officers responded and met with that person”, Lieutenant Chris Ramirez of the Los Angeles Police Department told reporters.

The police declined to explain what they were doing at Brown’s house except to say that they were called to the sprawling mansion in Tarzana in the San Fernando Valley after a woman, still officially unidentified, reported about 3 a.m. Tuesday that Brown pointed a gun at her inside the house.
He was arrested on Tuesday following an hours-long standoff after a woman alleged he pointed a gun at her, and freed on $250,000 bail at 11.19pm local time (1.19pm Thailand time Wednesday), according to Los Angeles County jail records.
She also spoke to the Los Angeles Times, saying she and a friend went into a hot tub at Brown’s house and that the singer became angry when she admired the jewelry of a member of his entourage. Since then, Curran has told several news outlets that she feared for her life.
The singer’s attorney Mark Geragos confirmed the news on Twitter writing, “Thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes”. “Yo, you know all this b–s– going on man, I’m just gonna turn the other cheek and drop some music”, Brown, 27, said in a video shared hours before the song’s premiere. But Im was unable to detail the circumstances of why Brown was arrested – for instance, did police find a gun at his home? “A lot of violence is going on in the world right now and I think that we all kind of need to wake up to it and reunite and just share the love, I guess”. The stand-off and subsequent media attention provided a chaotic scene in the balmy and typically quiet neighborhood of Tarzana as police closed off nearby streets and rerouted traffic. Only past year, that case was officially closed after a judge ruled he had completed community service obligations as part of his sentence in the case. The singer was ordered into rehab then dismissed from the facility for violating its rules. He spent two and a half months in custody, with USA marshals shuttling him between Los Angeles and the nation’s capital for court hearings.

In another incident while in treatment, Brown was accused of throwing a brick at his mother’s auto following a counselling session. It came after Brown completed court-ordered anger management classes.
