Once again, R&B\/Pop singer Chris Brown\u2019s violent behavior lands him into a world of trouble as him and his bodyguard was arrested for assaulting a man this past weekend.<\/p>\n

The Tappahannock, Va. native along with his bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, landed in jail Oct. 27 night in Washington, D.C. after the two men allegedly assaulted a man who photo bombed a picture with Brown and two female fans. According to CNN.com, the victim, a 20 year old man named Issac Adams Parker, stated in a police report that Brown told him \u201cI ain\u2019t with that gay s***, I feel like boxing.\u201d From there, the report states that Parker told the Washington Police that Brown punched him in the face, followed by an attack from Hollosy, resulting in bruised and swollen face and a broken nose.<\/p>\n

Since Brown was arrested, the Grammy Award winning artist was in violation of his probation, stemming from his 2009 felony domestic violence charge from his altercation with ex-girlfriend Rihanna. In addition, the arrest was under suspicion that it was a felonious assault, which could earn him some jail time.<\/p>\n

The incident is the most recent of numerous altercations Brown has had over the past several years which includes the parking lot brawl earlier this year with Frank Ocean, a hit and run incident, and the massive melee in a nightclub between Drake\u2019s entourage, resulting in injures to patrons and himself. Some fans attribute his violent behavior to the people he surrounds himself with.<\/p>\n

Darryl Williams, a senior English major from St. Louis, Mo. said, \u201cI just feel like Chris Brown needs to watch the people that\u2019s around him. I think it\u2019s about the circle of people that he surrounds himself with that can help him make better decisions. I don\u2019t think that the people around him are protecting him and do not have his best interest at heart. He keeps getting in trouble and I think if he had a better support system, he would be better off.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case against Brown however is starting to collapse due to conflicting stories of the night. Reports from TMZ reveal that sources tied to Brown state that Parker and a male friend attempted to get on Brown\u2019s tour bus with the female fans, but were thwarted by him and the bodyguard, which led to the altercation. Also, some police reports of the incident suggest that the bodyguard, Hollosy, threw the first punch.<\/p>\n

The reports resulted in Brown and Hollosy being released from jail and the charge being reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor along with a restraining order to stay 100 yards away from Parker. If convicted, he could face 180 days in jail along with a $1,000 fine. He returns to court on Nov. 25.<\/p>\n

Many fans believe that in the midst of Brown\u2019s violent behavior, some jail time would benefit him.<\/p>\n

Ladessea Woodberry, a junior psychology major from Dallas, Texas said, \u201cI believe that Chris Brown, he actually deserves some jail time because he\u2019s being repetitive with everything he does. Maybe if he spent some time in jail, maybe he would get his act together. And I notice that celebrities, they\u2019ll lower the jail time in situations where they\u2019ll lower felonies to a misdemeanor when they deserve the felony, unlike if it was a normal person, they would get that charge and end up in jail.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the incident, new developments show that Brown has decided to check into rehab for his behavior in order to reevaluate his life and to regain focus on his career. Brown tweeted \u201cIn order to go where u have never gone u have to be willing to go where u never been!!!! #OHB! CBE!\u201d<\/p>\n

Cal Oatis, a senior English major from Columbus, Miss. said, \u201cIt seems like a PR stunt to me, but I really don\u2019t think it will help because his anger problem is more like a personality trait. And I can imagine that the fame gets annoying. Not only that, but you got the build up of fame and just being famous in general. It\u2019s cool when it\u2019s on TV, but the lifestyle is different. Not only that, but you get an incident where this punk is trying to push up on you and then you have all this build up from what he\u2019s going through and it creates an explosion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
