Singer Chris Brown, who had been sought by authorities for violence felony battery, turned himself in Sunday evening and was booked and released on $50,000 bail. However, police say additional charges may be filed against him when the case is presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office.
A press release from the Los Angeles Police Department said the 19-year-old R&B singer/dancer/actor and a woman were in a vehicle in the Hancock Park neighborhood early Sunday around 12:30am when they began arguing.
Police say Brown and the woman got out of the car and the argument escalated and became physical.
Officers say Brown wasn't at the scene when police arrived. They did say the woman identified Brown as her attacker. However, the police won't reveal the identity of the woman. The obvious speculation is that it's his girlfriend, singer Rihanna.
"The identity of the victim will not be released," said Officer April Harding. "Any victim who's involved in a domestic violence incident is entitled to confidentiality."
Ironically, in a 2007 interview with Giant magazine, Brown said his mother had been physically abused by his stepfather.
"He used to hit my mom," he was quoted as saying in the Giant article. "He made me terrified all the time, terrified like I had to pee on myself. I remember one night he made her nose bleed. I was crying and thinking, 'I'm just gonna go crazy on him one day ... ' I hate him to this day."
In the same interview, he said he had studied martial arts, which he used to defend himself once in a fight with several classmates. Brown said after his mother broke up the fight, he urged her not to go to the police.
"Don't go to no cops pressing no charges," he reported begging her, "like we don't do that in the hood."
Brown and Rihanna both cancelled their appearances on Sunday night's Grammy Awards show.
The absence of the two stars made for a dramatic last-minute change in the production of the show. Fortunately veteran soul man Al Green was available.
"I was in the shower and didn't have anything on, and they said, 'Whatever you have, throw it in the bag and come on,' " Green said backstage about getting the call to perform. He said he was not given an explanation of the last-minute invite. "We had two hours and 40 minutes to rehearse, come back onstage and change and then go out and do it."

Hope he didn't turn out like his stepfather.
he probably did!...tmz reported that rihanna had a bloody nose and lip, and 2 contusions on both sides of her head that had swell up. And there's reportedly a bite mark somewhere on her body....
