SINGER Chris Brown was arrested Tuesday in Los Angeles on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, police said, following an hours-long standoff after a woman alleged he pointed a gun at her.

    Police said the troubled singer, who has had numerous brushes with the law, was being transported to a police station to be booked on the assault charge.

    The Los Angeles Police Department earlier said that officers from the homicide and robbery division, which deals with celebrity cases, headed to Brown’s home after the woman called for help at 3:11 a.m.

    Brown, 27, took to social media to deny any wrongdoing, daring police to get a search warrant to enter his home in a series of videos posted on Instagram.

    “When you get the warrant for whatever you need to do, you’re going to walk right up in here and you’re going to see nothing, you idiots,” said a visibly angry Brown.

    He voiced support for the Black Lives Matter movement against police brutality, saying: “You’re all the worst gang in the world, the police.”

    He claimed that he was sound asleep and was awakened by police and media outside his home.
