Chris Brown arrested after hours-long police standoff at his house

AKIPRESS.COM - Los Angeles police said they arrested singer Chris Brown on Tuesday evening on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, Washington Post reports.

The felony charge stems from an early-morning incident, when a woman called 911 from outside Brown’s residence, saying that she needed help, LAPD spokesman Tony Im said.

Brown was arrested without incident at his house about 5 p.m., Im said. He said he could not confirm the weapon Brown allegedly used. He has not been booked in jail.

The singer’s arrest came after an hours-long standoff with police, who were awaiting a judge’s approval for a search warrant.

Detectives eventually searched the property after Brown’s lawyer Mark Geragos arrived, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Geragos told the Times that Brown denies any wrongdoing.
