Singer Chris Brown under investigation in alleged assault
10:19 PM, February 8, 2009
R&B singer Chris Brown, one of the biggest-selling performers in pop music, was booked tonight in Los Angeles on charges stemming from an alleged assault on his girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna, according to police and other sources familiar with the investigation.
An official police statement did not name Rihanna, but said the woman in the incident “suffered visible injuries.”
Details of what took place between the two were sketchy, but authorities and sources said that about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Brown and a woman got into an argument in a rented Lamborghini on North June Street in Hancock Park. Brown stopped the car, the two got out, and the argument escalated. A witness called 911, but police said Brown was gone by the time officers arrived at the scene. The woman identified Brown as her assailant.
Authorities did not describe her injuries or whether she was treated for them.
The sources said the woman was Rihanna, whose full name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
Brown was booked on a charge of making criminal threats, and police said he remained under investigation for felony charges of domestic violence. “The exact charge was criminal threats and it is going to be investigated as a criminal threats investigation,” said Police Sgt. Bridget Pickett, who spoke to reporters at the Wilshire Division police station, where Brown was booked. “There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney’s office.”
Pickett defined a criminal threat as “a threat that is made to a person with the likelihood that it may occur.” She said that Brown arrived at the police station about 6:30 p.m. dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. “He was very professional,” she said. Brown was joined at the station by his lawyer, Mark Geragos, and Geragos’ investigator, Scott Ross.
After posting $50,000 bail, Brown left the station before 9 p.m.
Both Brown and Rihanna had been scheduled to perform at the Grammy Awards, which began at 5 p.m. at Staples Center. Neither appeared, and Grammy officials issued a statement just before the show saying, "We have just been informed Rihanna will not be attending tonight’s 51st Grammy Awards. Rihanna will not be performing. We are sorry to see she is unable to join us this evening.”
A publicist for the Barbados-born star, who sold more digital song downloads than any other in 2008, with nearly 10 million tracks, said Sunday night, “Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support.”
Her song “Disturbia,” which she’d been scheduled to perform at the ceremony, was the sixth best-selling digital track of the year. She was replaced by veteran soul singer Al Green, who was accompanied by country singer-guitarist Keith Urban.
Brown and Rihanna had appeared together Saturday night at producer Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy gala in Beverly Hills.
A spokesman for Brown’s record label did not respond to The Times’ request for comment. Brown finished 2008 as the fourth-best-selling artist in the digital realm, posting 6.8 million tracks sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. |

曾经关系融洽的克里斯-布朗和蕾哈娜
他称，克里斯-布朗在这起袭击事件中用手口并用地攻击了蕾哈娜，时间是在周日中午12点30分。现年19岁的布朗在周日被捕并且被指控犯有蓄意伤人罪。
据媒体所称，布朗曾学习过武术，而且他的表演风格也颇具气势。洛杉矶警方目前正在调查这起袭击案件的细节，并且表示，可能还有其他指控指向布朗。
当局对媒体发布的消息是周日中午时分，布朗和一位女性在停靠在汉考克公园附近的一辆车中发生争执。布朗停下了车，他跟车中的女性下车后矛盾再次升级，洛杉矶警方称这名女性身上多处受伤。
在冲突之后，布朗独自离开了现场，抛下了蕾哈娜。“很明显当时蕾哈娜十分伤心，我都听见她的尖叫了，”这名知情人士说。“蕾哈娜像是想要说出自己的观点，虽然她在抽泣，不过他还是在坚持她的观点。”
布朗在周日晚上自首，登记在案之后即被保释出门。当晚媒体联系到了蕾哈娜的发言人，他说这位女歌手目前一切正常。“蕾哈娜目前很好，感谢你们的关心和支持，”他说。而克里斯-布朗的发言人目前依然保持沉默。
