After lengthy standoff with police, singer Chris Brown arrested

LOS ANGELES (AP) — It seems Chris Brown can't avoid trouble.

After a bizarre, hours-long standoff with police, the "Deuces" and "Look At Me Now" singer was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a woman called police for help during a gathering at his Los Angeles home.

Model Baylee Curran later told the Los Angeles Times that Brown pointed a gun at her face after he and another man became angry with her when she admired the man's diamond necklace.

It was the latest run-in with the law for the Grammy winning Brown, who has been in repeated legal trouble since his felony conviction in the 2009 assault of his then-girlfriend, Rihanna, ahead of the Grammys. He completed his probation last year in that case.

In the Tuesday incident, Brown was released from jail after posting $250,000 bail. His arraignment was tentatively set for Sept. 20.

The singer was arrested outside the view of news helicopters that swirled overhead and throngs of camera crews gathered at the bottom of his hilltop estate. It marked the conclusion of a nearly 14-hour standoff and investigation.

Police spokesman Lt. Chris Ramirez said officers first responded to Brown's property in the Tarzana area of Los Angeles around 3 a.m. He did not identify the woman who called, elaborate on the assistance she needed, or know if she was injured.
