Singer is bailed after arrest at LA home

SINGER CHRIS Brown has been bailed out of jail following his arrest after a stand-off of nearly 14 hours with police.

Brown was arrested late on Tuesday night after posting 250,000 US dollars (£190,000) bail at his home in the Tarzana neighbourhood of Los Angeles..

He had been arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a woman called for help from a gathering at his home.

The woman was not identified but but model Baylee Curran said that Brown pointed a gun at her face.

The arrest occurred outside the view of several news helicopters that swirled overhead and throngs of camera crews gathered at the bottom of Brown’s hilltop estate.

Ms Curran said Brown and another man became angry with her when she admired the man’s diamond necklace.

She said she and her friend ran outside as one of Brown’s associates gave chase and hid under a neighbour’s SUV. The model also said she has visited Brown’s home in the past and never encountered any trouble.

Brown later posted rambling messages on social media proclaiming his innocence and rebuffing reports that he barricaded himself in his “palace”.

“Y’all gonna stop playing with me like I’m the villain out here, like I’m going crazy,” he said in one Instagram video, waving a cigarette and looking at the camera.

“When you get the warrant or whatever you need to do, you’re going to walk right up in here and you’re going to see nothing.”

Brown’s attorney, Mark Geragos, arrived at the house before police served a search warrant at 1pm on Tuesday.
