Singer Chris Brown released from jail on $250,000 bail

The Los Angeles police have released singer Chris
Brown from custody after arresting him on
suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, jail
records show.
He was arrested on Tuesday following an hours-
long standoff after a woman alleged he pointed a
gun at her.
He was released on $250,000 bail at 11:19 pm local
time (0619 GMT Wednesday), according to Los
Angeles County jail records.
Prosecutors have not formally charged him.

“Chris is out and well,” Brown’s lawyer Mark
Geragos tweeted on Wednesday. “The allegations
against him are demonstrably false.”
The Los Angeles Police Department earlier said that
officers headed to Brown’s palatial home after the
woman called for help.
During the surreal standoff, Brown, 27, took to
social media to deny any wrongdoing in a series of
videos posted on Instagram.
Police by early afternoon had obtained a search
warrant and entered the singer’s home.
