LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – R&B singer Chris Brown was arrested today in Malibu, California, on a warrant issued for a probation violation related to his 2009 assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna, the Los Angeles County Sheriff said.
Brown, 24, is being held without bail in Los Angeles after being taken into custody in Malibu at 2 p.m. PDT (2100 GMT).
The singer, who also faces a misdemeanor assault case in Washington, D.C., had been in Malibu at a rehabilitation center for anger management as part of his court-ordered probation.
Brown’s representatives declined to comment.
