Chris was released on $250,000 bail after reportedly pulling a gun on a woman at his house.
It’s been one hell of a night for Chris Brown… the singer was arrested after a beauty queen claimed he had pulled a gun at her at his house and has since been released on $250,000 bail.
Chris’ team denied the allegations against him, after an 11-hour stand off with the police resulted in his arrest in the early hours of the morning.
The arrest on suspicion of “assault with a deadly weapon” came after a pre-dawn 911 call from beauty queen Baylee Curran who accused Chris of pulling a gun on her after she admired his friend’s jewellery.
Baylee explained her side of the story to TMZ, telling them why she had called the police out to the property.
Meanwhile, while the drama was unfolding outside, Chris posted a series of Instagram videos claiming that he had been woken up by police outside his house and denying the allegations.

Lieutenant Ramirez from the Los Angeles Police Department said in a statement, "This morning, around three o'clock, officers responded to a radio call for a woman requiring assistance. The incident involved the residence of Mr Chris Brown, where officers responded and met with that person."
The police spent hours waiting outside Chris’ house until they acquired a search warrant at 12.40pm and Chris finally left his house at 2.38pm to speak to the officers and his lawyer, Mark Geragos.
Mark posted on Twitter:
Thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes. Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false #TeamBreezy

Chris paid up his bail and is now back home waiting for the outcome of the investigation.
