Chris Brown is currently incarcerated after traveling to England this week in preparation for his “Breezy Bowl” European tour stops next month. Detectives detained the superstar in Manchester in relation to a violent previous incident at a nightclub, according to an exclusive report by The Sun. These are the reported details, but he and his team have not yet responded to the news.
Chris Brown Charged In Case, Will Remain In Custody
After his arrest on Thursday, Chris Brown was officially charged with “one count of causing grievous bodily harm,” according to the Associated Press. After learning that Brown was in the United Kingdom, London Metropolitan Police went to Manchester to make an arrest. He was apparently detained by police, and on Friday, May 16, he showed up for a hearing at the Manchester Magistrates’ Court. For his court appearance, Chris reportedly wore a black t-shirt and all-black Nike tracksuit bottoms.
Chris Brown, meanwhile, will be detained by the police until June 13, according to the Manchester Evening News. His next court appearance is scheduled for that date. The case was escalated to the Southwark Crown Court in London after District Judge Joanne Hirst informed Breezy in court that his charge was “too serious” for the Magistrates’ Court to handle.
Prosecutor Hannah Nicholls added that both the CCTV footage and the crowded nightclub’s patrons recorded the 2023 incident. Chris was refused bail even though his attorney, Grace Forbes, maintained that he poses no flight risk.
More Details About Chris Brown’s Arrest
According to The Sun, Brown was taken into custody by police at The Lowry Hotel at around two in the morning on Thursday, May 15, and taken in for interrogation. According to reports, he was arrested just hours after arriving at Manchester Airport in a private aircraft.
Investigators believe that on February 19, 2023, the singer seriously injured producer Abe Diaw. According to reports, the incident took place at the Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London. According to detectives, Breezy kicked and punched Abe on the ground after smashing a bottle on his head.
Lawyer For Abe Diaw Speaks Out
Following the incident, Diaw sued Chris Brown for $16 million in civil court. On Thursday, Ryan J. Daneshrad, his attorney in the case, told TMZ that they could verify Chris Brown was a part of the nightclub assault.
“…We can confirm that Chris Brown was involved in an incident with our client, and the injuries sustained are serious. We are pursuing all legal remedies to hold him accountable. At this time, we will let the facts speak for themselves through the proper legal channels.”
Chris Brown Sparked Social Media Reactions With Tory Lanez Post
Following his viral post about Tory Lanez on Wednesday, May 14, Chris Brown was arrested in Manchester on Wednesday (May 14). During a press conference, Lanez’s legal team asserted that they had fresh proof of their client’s purported innocence. According to lawyer Walter Roberts, Kelly Harris, the ex-friend of Megan Thee Stallion, was overheard confessing to being the shooter by her bodyguard. As previously reported, Tory was found guilty by a jury of assault with a firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, and negligent discharge of a firearm. As a result, he is currently serving a 10-year sentence.
The update went viral after being widely shared online by the rapper’s fans and celebrities. Additionally, Breezy quickly expressed his support for the Canadian rapper. Chris Brown posted the message “FREE TORY!!!” on his Instagram Stories.
Many people reacted negatively to Brown’s remark, with some pointing to his violent past. Naturally, there was a lot of talk about the car accident involving Rihanna in February 2009. About a month after a heated argument between the couple, Breezy was charged with felony assault and making criminal threats, according to PEOPLE. He then entered a guilty plea to the charges in June 2009. In 2010, he accepted a plea deal that included five years of probation, community service, and domestic violence counseling.
