Chris Brown released on $250k bail hours after assault arrest

Chris Brown has been released on bail following his dramatic arrest after a tense 11-hour stand-off with police. According to records from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, he was released on £250,000 bail today.

The star’s attorney Mark Geragos tweeted shortly after: “Thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes. Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false.”

It comes after he was held on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.

Around 3 a.m. Tuesday morning, police officers responded to a call in Brown's Tarzana neighborhood from a woman claiming that the singer pointed a gun at her in a rage. The woman then ran out of Brown's mansion and phoned police.
