LAPD entered Chris Brown's house in search of gun
Tuesday, Los Angeles police obtained a search warrant and went inside to investigate a woman's claim that the trouble-plagued singer threatened her with a gun, according to the Los Angeles Times and the local CBS TV affiliate, among other media reports.
The Los Angeles police were not saying Tuesday what exactly is going on, except that police are at Brown's sprawling mansion in Tarzana in the San Fernando Valley, and more were on the way.
But the Times reported that shortly before 1 p.m. PT, detectives from the LAPD Robbery-Homicide division entered Brown's house with the warrant after his attorney, Mark Geragos, arrived at the scene. Geragos did not return calls for comment.
About an hour later, Brown came out of his home peacefully, according to the Associated Press. Various media organizations live-streaming the scene showed a man in a red baseball cap sitting on outside the house on the front walkway and smiling with police, as Geragos paced nearby.
The AP quoted Lt. Chris Ramirez telling reporters at the scene that several people were escorted from the residence after a search warrant was served. No arrests had been made and everyone has been cooperative, he said.
The Times and TV news affiliates earlier quoted LAPD public information Officer Liliana Preciado as saying police were called to Brown's residence about 3 a.m. by a woman who claimed Brown violently threatened her with a gun.
