Incident Details
Following the boxing event, Brown was briefly detained after shots were fired. At the time, Brown posted on social media that he had been "jumped by multiple individuals who tried to steal my jewelry and cause physical harm to me."
“Police temporarily detained me until they received my side of the story and then released me. I WENT HOME THAT NIGHT AND WAS NOT ARRESTED,” Brown wrote.
Developments After the Incident
In June, The Associated Press reported that Brown was named in an arrest warrant alleging he took a handgun from a security staffer and fired two shots at a man with whom he had previously fought. The victim told investigators that one bullet grazed his neck.
