‘Pulled gun’ on beauty queen

Cops in Los Angeles took Chris Brown into custody Tuesday afternoon and said the violence-prone singer would be booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a beauty queen reported he pointed a gun at her. The latest bizarre incident involving the R&B star infamous for beating then-girlfriend Rihanna began after the woman, identified by TMZ as Baylee Curran, Miss California Regional 2016, reported the alleged threat at 3 a.m. Tuesday. When police responded, Brown tossed a duffel bag allegedly containing drugs and two guns out of a window, shouting, “Come and get me!” at the officers.

Cops later searched Brown’s Tarzana mansion for several hours as they questioned him and his entourage.

The beef was sparked when Brown’s people grabbed Curran’s cellphone and refused to return it until she signed a nondisclos­ure agreement after admiring a diamond-studded cross inside the singer’s home, TMZ reported.

“Chris pulled his gun and told me to ‘ Get out.’ He said, ‘I’m sick of you girls, get the F out!’ ” Curran said, according to the Los Angeles Times, adding that she ran for her life to a neighbor’s home.

When cops first arrived at Brown’s estate, they were barred from entering and told to get a search warrant.

But while detectives were waiting for a judge’s signature, Brown, 27, went off on a rant in a series of Instagram videos.

“So I don’t sleep half the damn night, I just wake up to all these motherf--king helicopter­s, choppers is around, police out there at the gate,” he whined. Brown then said cops were out to get him for no good reason.

“I ain’t did s--t. I ain’t going to do s--t. And it’s always going to be f--k the police, black lives matter, n---er,” the performer raged.

“You’re going to walk right up in here and you’re going to see nothing, you idiots,” he added.

“I’m tired of f--king dealing with you all, y’all the worst gang in the world, the police, and I said it.”

Curran later posted her own video on Instagram, defending her decision to call the cops.

“Do you all honestly think I wanted this and I caused this?” she said. “If somebody put a gun to your head, what would you do? Call the police.”
