The LAPD have begun the search for the weapon that Chris Brown allegedly used in threatening a woman.
Shortly before 1 p.m., officers entered Chris’ home after taking much of the morning to obtain a search warrant. His attorney, Mark Geragos, was on the scene as LAPD Robbery-Homicide Division
detectives searched the property.
Los Angeles Police Department Deputy Chief Bob Green had
described the standoff between Brown and officers as “long and protracted.”
The search was sparked by a call for help from a woman
who said she had been threatened by the performer, police sources said, with
officers first arriving at Brown’s home in the 5000 block of Corbin Avenue
about 3 a.m. Tuesday. said LAPD Officer Liliana Preciado.
The woman said Brown, who has had several previous
run-ins with the law, pointed a gun at her during a violent rage before she ran
outside to call police, according to the police sources, who were not
authorized to speak publicly about the case.

Officers attempted to enter the home and were told to get
a search warrant, the police sources said. Detectives then waited for a warrant
to search Brown's home for the weapon.
Meanwhile, Brown took to his Instagram account Tuesday
morning, sharing videos in which he railed against police and media and said he
was being unfairly portrayed as a villain.
In the videos, he said he woke up to helicopters overhead
and officers at his gate, and maintained that he was not guilty of the
accusations.
“Good luck. When you get the warrant or whatever you need
to do, you’re going to walk right up in here and you’re going to see nothing,
you idiots,” he said in one video. “I’m tired of ... dealing with y’all.”
Because of the high-profile nature of the case, the
investigation is being handled by the Robbery-Homicide Division.
