Man settles lawsuit with Chris Brown

WASHINGTON

The lawyer for a man who was punched by Chris Brown outside a Washington hotel says he has settled a lawsuit against the singer.

The Washington Post reports that John C. Hayes, the attorney for Parker Adams, confirmed Thursday that a settlement had been reached. He did not say how much the settlement was worth. He did not immediately respond to requests for information from The Associated Press. The settlement first was reported by TMZ.

Brown pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault Sept. 2. The singer admitted hitting Adams, who tried to get in a picture that the singer was taking with two women in October 2013.
