LOS
ANGELES (Reuters) - Pop star Chris Brown was arrested on suspicion of
assault with a deadly weapon on Tuesday after a daylong standoff and
search at his Los Angeles home that began when a woman called 911,
police said.
Brown,
27, denied any wrongdoing in posts on Instagram before he was taken
into custody and said that he had woken up to find police outside and
that they would need a warrant to enter the property in the Tarzana
neighborhood in Los Angeles’ San Fernando Valley.
“He
is being transported to robbery homicide, where he will be arrested for
assault with a deadly weapon, Lieutenant Chris Ramirez of the Los
Angeles Police Department told reporters at an impromptu media
conference outside Brown’s home.
Ramirez
declined to elaborate on the charges against Brown, saying that the
investigation was still under way. Earlier TMZ.com and the Los Angeles
Times reported that the singer had pointed a gun at the woman.
