Good, I hate Chris Brown anyway.source wrote:
R&B singer Chris Brown surrendered to police Sunday night and was charged with a felony in connection with a domestic violence incident involving his girlfriend, pop star Rihanna, the night before, police and sources say.
Brown turned himself in to authorities as the Grammy Awards were being broadcast and was briefly held before posting $50,000 bail Sunday night, jail records showed.
According to sources and a Los Angeles Police Department report, at about 12:30 a.m. Sunday, Brown and a woman got into an argument in a rented Lamborghini after the pair left the pre-Grammy gala at the Beverly Hilton. Brown stopped the car in upscale Los Angeles neighborhood Hancock Park, the two got out, and the argument escalated.
A witness called 911 and a woman with visible injuries identified Chris Brown as her attacker. Brown had already left the scene by the time authorities arrived.
Brown was booked Sunday night on a charge of making criminal threats, and police said he remained under investigation for felony charges of domestic violence.
“The exact charge was criminal threats and it is going to be investigated as a criminal threats investigation,” said Police Sgt. Bridgett Pickett. “There may be domestic violence charges added later, but that will be up to the district attorney’s office.”

Insiders say they are shocked and that "Chris is a good kid, well brought up."
Rihanna was slated to sing 'Live Your Life/Disturbia' and Brown was later to sing 'Forever' at the Grammy Awards Sunday evening.
The Recording Academy announced an hour before the show that pop superstar Rihanna was "unable to join us this evening."
The singer's publicist, Jana Fleishman issued a statement Sunday saying only that "Rihanna is well. Thank you for your concern and support."
Recording Academy chairman Neil Portnow said he found out three hours before the telecast that Rihanna would not be appearing.
"There's that minute of anxiety, `OK, what are we going to do?', but that passes very quickly," he said backstage after the show.
"We're live television and the Grammys have a history of 50 years of putting on these great performances," Portnow said. "Things happen, sometimes things change and you have to be nimble and quick on your feet."
Portnow declined to comment on Brown's circumstances, but said he hoped the situation wouldn't overshadow the 51st annual Grammy Awards.
"Musicians are like everyone else, they have their trials and tribulations," he said. "It's not something I want to be judgmental about."
