From CNN...
Singer Chris Brown and a bodyguard
were arrested Sunday morning and charged with felony assault, the Washington
Metropolitan Police Department said.
The arrest could have serious legal
consequence for Brown, 24, since he is serving probation for the felony
domestic violence conviction relating to his 2009 attack on former girlfriend
Rihanna.
Brown and bodyguard Christopher
Hollosy allegedly attacked a man with their fists outside the W Hotel in
downtown Washington at 4:25 a.m. Sunday, police said.
The police incident report obtained
by CNN identified the alleged victim as Isaac Adams Parker, 20, of Beltsville,
Maryland. Parker did not immediately respond to a CNN call for comment.
Parker told police that he tried to
jump into a photo that Brown was posing for with a female fan on the sidewalk
when the singer said, "I'm not down with that gay s--t" and "I
feel like boxing," the police report said. Parker said that Brown then
punched him in the face with his closed fist, the report said.

Parker said Brown's bodyguard --
who stands 6-foot-5 and weighs 240 pounds -- stepped between them and punched
Parker in the face, the report said. The bodyguard then grabbed Brown by his
arm and pulled him toward his tour bus, which was parked near by, it said.
Brown and the bodyguard were taken
into custody and were being held at the Second District police station, police
said. Both men were later transferred to a central jail cell block for
processing, police said,
Parker was treated and released at
a hospital for treatment for a bruised and swollen face, police spokesman Anthony
Clay told CNN.
Brown was in Washington to host a
"homecoming party" at The Park at Fourteen nightclub Saturday night,
according to his Twitter feed, just four blocks away from where he was arrested
Sunday morning.
His representative and lawyer did
not immediately respond to CNN calls for comment Sunday.
Brown is on probation in California
for a felony domestic violence conviction involving Rihanna. Any arrest could
be considered a violation of that probation, which could result in jail time.
Prosecutors filed probation
violation charges against him twice in the past year, resulting in the judge
ordering him to complete an additional 1,000 hours of community service.
