He seems nice. You may recall Brown has a past history of beating up on his former girlfriend Rihanna, although what has occurred here is not clear. For those unsure who he is, you didn’t miss much.
Via TMZ:
9:40 AM PT — Police say they are still trying to make contact with Chris.
9:20 AM PT — Chris is finally awake and posting videos. He’s pissed about the police presence at his house and feels he’s being harassed. He even dropped a “F*** tha police!”
The cops are still outside.
8:45 AM PT – We’ve learned the SWAT team is on its way to Chris’ home and the LAPD is in the process of obtaining a search warrant. We’re told cops want to see if a gun matching the description from the woman is in the house. As of now, Chris has not left his residence.
7:55 AM PT — TMZ has learned Chris was in the house with several friends, including Ray J. They were talking and at one point Ray was getting a tattoo when some “uninvited guests” appeared inside the house and were asked to leave.
At that point, the story gets murky. The guests included a man who was invited, and two women who were not — one of the women who’d been asked to leave is the one who made the police report, claiming Brown pulled the gun on her. Someone inside the house insists Chris was asleep the whole time.
At some point Ray J left the house and when he got to the base of the driveway, police handcuffed him and seized his BMW. They checked his ID, uncuffed him and let him go, but kept his car as evidence. He Ubered home.
Update:
Police have retrieved at least one gun, other weapons and drugs from Chris Brown’s home, after Chris threw a duffel bag out the window of his home … TMZ has learned.
He also reportedly yelled, “Come and get me!” after he threw it. He’s likely to get his wish…
Update:

Update:
He’s allegedly about to come out, so I put this up for the probable perp walk. Sorry for the ‘reporters’ who sound like they are 15 year old Valley Girls.
Update:
Hilarious, his close neighbor, NBA player, Nick Young, tells Brown you’re ruining our neighborhood, you have to go, you’re making the neighborhood ‘too hot’, and there are only a limited number of black folk there to begin with.

Update:
The backstory. The woman who had the gun pulled on her is named Baylee Curran.
The woman who called the cops on Chris Brown says the singer pulled a gun on her because she was admiring a piece of jewelry … and afterwards his people demanded she sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Baylee Curran appeared on “TMZ Live” and said she had partied with Chris in the past and he was always nice, but this time he appeared to be out of it … on drugs or alcohol.
She says she came to his house with a friend, spent a little time in the hot tub, and then walked back inside where a member of Chris’ crew was displaying a piece of jewelry. Baylee says when she admired it the guy went nuts, and then Chris followed suit by demanding she “get the f*** out” and pointed a gun at her.
The craziest part … as she tried to leave she says Chris’ people wouldn’t let her take her cell phone until she signed a non-disclosure agreement. She refused to sign, and she and her friend left.
TMZ broke the story … Baylee, Miss California Regional 2016, called 911 and that started the standoff with Chris.
Update:
Ray J, another singer who was there but had left after talking with police, posted video saying he’s supporting Chris Brown and ‘the movement’, and ‘things have to change’ if someone’s allegation can result in all this.
Update:
Looks like he finally got some sense and did what he should have done originally, called his attorney and now is arranging his surrender. His attorney is Mark Geragos.

Update:
Chris Brown’s 2 Yr Old daughter was reportedly in house at the time of the alleged assault.
Update:
Brown finally emerges, on the livestream above, man in the red hat. He could have avoided all this, by not instagramming out his standoff but cooperating with police. Police needed to check out the report of the woman, but he wasn’t letting them in to talk to him or to witnesses who were still in the home.
