Chris Brown Has Been Arrested Immediately After Concert In Florida

Singer Chris Brown walked off stage after his concert in Florida and into the hands of waiting sheriff’s deputies, who arrested him on a felony battery charge and booked him into the Palm Beach County Jail.

A sheriff’s spokeswoman said the entertainer was released after posting $2,000 bond on the battery charge issued by the Tampa Police Department.
The warrant accuses Chris Brown of hitting a Bennie Vines Jr., who was hired by a club in Tampa to take pictures during an event hosted by Chris Brown in April 2017.

Vines told officers Brown punched him while he was snapping photos. Chris Brown was gone by the time officers arrived that night. Vines refused medical treatment, but he told the officers that he wanted to prosecute over a minor lip cut.

The 29-year-old entertainer’s record of violence includes a guilty plea to felony assault for beating up his then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 and a 2016 arrest on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon.
