Chris was officially detained on Jan. 21, and as of the morning of Jan. 22, he is still being held as the investigation continues.

Beauty queen Baylee Curran told the LA Times Mr Brown had pointed the gun at her face after she had been admiring his friend's jewellery.

Mr Brown came out of his home after a stand-off with police on Tuesday.

It is not yet clear if Mr Brown was charged or released on bail.

Police went to Mr Brown's home following the emergency call early on Tuesday from Ms Curran, who by that time had left the property.

Ms Curran told the LA Times that she and a friend had gone to Mr Brown's house with a business associate on Monday evening.

Mr Brown's lawyer tweeted that his client was later freed, adding that the accusations were "demonstrably false".The singer has several convictions for violence, including a 2009 assault on his then girlfriend, pop star Rihanna. </s> Chris Brown has said he's going to "turn the other cheek" to the recent drama and focus on releasing new music.

The 27-year-old singer was charged with assault with a deadly weapon following a stand-off at his Tarzana, Los Angeles, home in the early hours of Tuesday morning.

Police were alerted to the property at around 3am after a woman called 911 and claimed Brown had threatened her with a gun.

A new video, shared on Wednesday, shows Chris - who maintains his innocence and was released on a $250,000 bail - addressing the drama.

"Yo. You know all this bulls**t that’s been going on man?," the topless singer shares. "I’m just going to turn my cheek and drop some music."

Meanwhile, it's been reported that the singer could face up to 14 years behind bars if he's found guilty of assault with a deadly weapon.

Legal expert, Troy Slaten, spoke to E! News about the charges and stated that the maximum penalty for assault with a deadly weapon is four years in state prison, but this could be enhanced because of the alleged use of a gun in the crime.

He explained: "Assault with a deadly weapon is a possible felony in California, and there is an significant enhancement for using a firearm in the commission of a crime.

"An enhancement means that, if convicted and found true, your prison sentence is increased or 'enhanced."

Slaten added: "So theoretically 14 years is the statutory max. But that would be very unlikely without a long rap sheet."

Brown was previously convicted for felony assault after an attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.

The arrest could also have an impact of Brown's custody arrangements for daughter Royalty with her mother Nia Guzman.

Slaten predicted that the arrest could be used as the basis for additional proceedings in family court and that Guzman could well push for sole custody of the two-year-old.

"Guzman doesn't have to prove to the family court that Brown is guilty 'beyond a reasonable doubt,' the standard used in criminal cases," Slaten said. "She only has to prove by 'clear and convincing' evidence that the bests interests of the child are served by her requests."

The singer's lawyer Mark Geragos has insisted the allegations are "false", writing: "Thanks to everyone for their support and well wishes. Chris is out and well. The allegations against him are demonstrably false."

He is now expected to appear in court on September 20, the records show.

Police Lt. Chris Ramirez confirms to The Hollywood Reporter that the Forever singer is currently in custody at a police station in downtown Los Angeles, following a lengthy search at Brown’s Tarzana, California home.

The drama began early Tuesday, when beauty queen Baylee Curran called the police and accused the singer of pulling a gun on her during a heated argument at his Tarzana house.

She told TMZ.com Brown flew into a rage after noticing her admiring a piece of jewellery. She and a friend managed to escape unharmed, and when cops arrived on the scene to investigate, they were denied entry into Brown’s mansion to look for the alleged weapon.
