Chris Brown Suspected of Committing Battery in Vegas Fistfight
Recording artist Chris Brown is suspected of beating a man during a heated argument at a Las Vegas basketball court, police said on Monday. Las Vegas metropolitan police responded to reports of an assault during a basketball game at Palms Casino Resort. The 25-year-old singer allegedly threw a punch at the male suspect, who was hit again by one of Brown's acquaintances, according to police. The victim drove himself to a hospital where he was treated for non-life threatening injuries. Las Vegas police said in a statement that Brown had an option to sign a citation for misdemeanor battery or press his case in court. The investigation comes months after Brown was released from probation for assaulting his then-girlfriend, Rihanna. While promoting her movie Home, Rihanna told TIME that she "fell in love with the Beast," when discussing her dating history.
