Singer Chris Brown arrested as he leaves stage for ‘beating up photographer in nightclub’
The performer was charged with felony battery based on an outstanding warrant from 2017
Singer Chris Brown was arrested and charged with felony battery after a concert in West Palm Beach, Florida, police officials said on Friday - in what is only his latest brush with the law.
Brown was taken into custody by Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office deputies for an outstanding warrant around 11pm on Thursday, just after his Coral Sky Amphitheatre show had wrapped up, according to jail records.
The warrant was from the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office and stemmed from an April 2017 incident in which Brown reportedly attacked a photographer at a Tampa’s Aja Channelside nightclub.

Brown was booked on a charge of felony battery and released after he posted a US$2,000 bond, the sheriff’s office said.
The singer was expected to return to Tampa on Friday for a concert as part of his tour, which is scheduled to continue through early August.
