Chris Brown and 'bodyguard' charged with felony assault | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The singer Chris Brown and a man reported to be his bodyguard have been arrested and charged with felony assault. Washington police said the two men were involved in an altercation with another man early on Sunday morning. The other man arrested and charged was named as Chris Hollosy, 35. | |
The altercation occurred outside the W Hotel, which is located on K and 15th street, near the White House, at around 4:25am. Washington police did not immediately release details of the other man involved, other than to say "he's alive". | |
Officer Andrew Clay of the Metropolitan police department later said he could not confirm Hollosy's relationship with Brown. The victim was taken to the hospital, Clay said. | |
Brown, 24, is currently on probation in California, for a domestic violence conviction involving his former girlfriend, Barbadian singer Rihanna. He was first arrested in 2009. Violation of that probation could result in time in jail. In August, he was ordered to complete 1,000 hours of community service, over probation violation. | |
Also in August, Brown settled a hit-and-run case that had threatened to send him to jail, after a car crash in May. Brown was reported to have come to a "civil compromise" with the victim. In the same month, he suffered a seizure. | Also in August, Brown settled a hit-and-run case that had threatened to send him to jail, after a car crash in May.
