US singer Chris Brown has been arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a woman told police he had threatened her with a gun.<\/p>\n
Beauty queen Baylee Curran told the LA Times Mr Brown had pointed the gun at her face after she had been admiring his friend’s jewellery.<\/p>\n
Mr Brown came out of his home after a stand-off with police on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The singer has several convictions for violence, including a 2009 assault on his then girlfriend, pop star Rihanna.<\/p>\n
Police went to Mr Brown’s home following the emergency call early on Tuesday from Ms Curran, who by that time had left the property.<\/p>\n
Ms Curran told the LA Times that she and a friend had gone to Mr Brown’s house with a business associate on Monday evening.<\/p>\n
She said she had been admiring the diamond necklace of a man who had been showing off his jewellery when the man got angry and told her to back away.<\/p>\n
That is when she says Mr Brown pulled out a gun, pointed it at her face and told her to get out.<\/p>\n
Once at Mr Brown’s sprawling mansion, police officers were allegedly denied entry and had to wait for a judge to approve a search warrant before going inside to search for a weapon.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t until Mr Brown’s lawyer arrived that the singer eventually emerged.<\/p>\n
Police said about half a dozen people had been escorted out of the residence and would be interviewed.<\/p>\n
During the stand-off, Mr Brown posted videos online accusing the police of harassment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
