CHRIS BROWN ARRESTED...AGAIN.
LOS ANGELES — Chris Brown has been arrested on suspicion of felony assault with a deadly weapon and was being transported to the Los Angeles Police Department's downtown robbery-homicide division for questioning, a police spokesperson told Mashable.
Police served a search warrant at the home of the troubled singer Tuesday afternoon following a peaceful standoff that dragged on through most of the day, LAPD Public Information Officer Tony Im said. Detectives initially responded to a 3:11 a.m. call from outside Brown's home in the affluent Los Angeles neighborhood of Tarzana, where a woman told police that Brown pointed a gun at her in a violent rage.
Brown insisted that police get a search warrant to enter the palatial estate, and cops spent the next 12 hours stationed outside while a magistrate prepared the papers. TMZ reported that during that time, Brown taunted police and threw a duffel bag out a window that contained weapons and drugs.
By late afternoon, Brown and several other individuals peacefully emerged from the residence as investigators went inside to serve the search warrant. The LAPD told Mashable that no one else had been arrested, but that Brown was in custody and on his way to jail.
Around that same time, the woman who accused Brown, a model named Baylee Curran, was on TMZ Live, saying she was hanging out at the house when another man brought out some diamond jewelry for display. She said as she was admiring one piece when something "triggered Chris" that caused the singer to order everyone out at gunpoint.
During the standoff that ensued, Brown posted a series of videos to his official Instagram accountaddressing the situation. He insisted he'd done nothing wrong in the obscenity-laced (and NSFW) rants.
"I'm sleep half the damn night, I just wake up, all these mother——— helicopter choppers is around, police out there at the gate," Brown said. "I'm way too tired to be dealing with this ... ."

The Grammy-winning singer has had several run-ins with the law and incidents of violence, including the gruesome 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, to which he eventually pleaded guilty. His probation in that case was lifted last March, but he's had several violent incidents along the way.
Brown reportedly became violent in his dressing room during a 2011 taping of Good Morning America; his entourage was implicated in a 2012 brawl with Drake's crew; he allegedly punched Frank Ocean in a dispute over a parking space in 2013; and he and his bodyguards were implicated in an alleged homophobic beatdown later that year. In June, his manager filed a lawsuit alleging that the singer attacked him.
Brown's lawyer did not immediately respond to Mashable's requests for comment.
