Singer Chris Brown was arrested early Sunday in Washington and charged
with felony assault, the Metropolitan Police Department has confirmed to CBSNews.
The R&B star is still on probation from his 2009 beating
of then-girlfriend Rihanna. If Sunday's arrest is determined to be a violation
of his probation, the star could land in prison for up to four years.
D.C. police spokesman Paul Metcalf said the 24-year-old
Brown got into a physical altercation with an adult male near the W Hotel
located on K and 15th street around 4:25 a.m. local time.
The name of the alleged victim was not released but Metcalf
said the man had been released from the hospital as of Sunday afternoon.
Chris Hollosy, a 35-year-old male who was with Brown, was
also arrested in the incident and faces the same charge. Both men would be held
until Monday, police said.
A person close to Brown’s camp told The Washington Post that
the incident started after the man tried to follow the two women onto Brown’s
tour bus, leading to an altercation.
Brown has been dealing with legal problems since 2009, when
he was arrested for assaulting then-girlfriend Rihanna and was first placed on
probation.
Brown also got involved in highly publicized altercations
with fellow singers Drake and Frank
Ocean
