Singer Chris Brown was arrested Sunday morning along with his bodyguard and charged with felony assault.
Chris Brown has always made headlines for all the wrong reasons. The singer has, very infrequently, been in the news for his music or anything positive, for that matter. Brown found himself in hot waters again this Sunday when he and his bodyguard were arrested and charged with felony assault in DC.
The arrest could have some serious consequences for Brown as he is already serving probation after being accused for the same crime in 2009 where he attacked and hit then-girlfriend and popular singer Rihanna. If the recent assault is found to be a violation of his probation, the R&B singer may find himself in prison for the next four years.
Allegedly, Brown and bodyguard Christopher Hollosy attacked and hit a man outside the W Hotel in downtown Washington at 4:25 a.m. Sunday. The victim was identified as Isaac Adams Parker. Reportedly, Parker tried to jump into a photo that Brown was posing for with a female fan on the sidewalk when the singer said, "I'm not down with that gay s--t" and "I feel like boxing", D.C. police spokesman Paul Metcalf said.
According to the police report, amidst all the screaming the 6-foot-5 Hollosy stood between Parker and the singer and punched Parker in the face. He then grabbed the singer and rushed him to the tour bus.
Brown and the bodyguard were taken into custody and were being held at the Second District police station, police said. Both men were later transferred to a central jail cell block for processing. Parker was treated for a bruised and swollen face and was later released from the hospital in the afternoon.
This is not the first time the singer has been accused of assault this year. Brown also got involved in highly publicized altercations with fellow singers Drake and Frank Ocean, but no criminal charges were filed in those incidents. The R&B star had his probation reinstated in early August after he was involved in an alleged hit-and-run accident. He recently reached a civil compromise with the driver of the car.
