Curran said she then exited the home with a friend and waited for the return of her phone because, according to Curran, she had to hand over her phone to enter the premises. When one of Brown’s associates came out with her phone, she was told she had to sign a non-disclosure in order to get her phone back, which she said she declined. Instead, she said she snatched her phone, ran towards a neighbor’s home, and hid under an SUV away from the associate who had chased after her. The neighbor then contacted the police.
Police descended on Brown’s Tarzana home at 3 a.m. and waited for a warrant to search the home.
Throughout the incident, Brown posted several videos to his Instagram account. In one video, Brown said he was asleep and awoke to helicopters hovering above his home.
“Y'all are gonna stop playing me like I’m the villain out here, like I’m going crazy. I’m not,” he said in the video. “When you get the warrant or whatever you need to do, you can walk right up in here, and you’re going to see nothing, you idiots.”
Investigators eventually entered the home and a search was conducted. It is unknown what items police recovered from the property.
R&B singer Ray J defended Brown in an Instagram video the following day.
“I’m real upset about today,” he said. “I’m not happy with how things are handled and how people can take a false story and blow it up into something way more than what it should be.”
He added for someone to say something “that don’t got nothing to do with nothing and to react like that so fast without knowing the facts and knowing what’s up ain’t cool. It’s just not right, it shouldn’t be like this. I support the homie Chris, I support the whole movement.”
Brown has had a number of run-ins with the law since his felony conviction in the 2009 assault of pop singer Rihanna.
In 2013, Brown was charged with misdemeanor assault after he punched a man outside of Washington D.C. nightclub.
Previous incidents at his residence include an armed home-invasion robbery and a naked woman allegedly breaking in and vandalizing the California home.
Brown insinuated that the LAPD is targeting him.
“Every three months, y'all come up with something, bro. What is it? What’s going to be next?” he asked in another Instagram video, adding, “At the same time, when I call police for stalker people…they don’t come until the next day.”
Brown’s next court date is Sept. 20.
