R&B Singer Chris Brown has turned himself in to authorities for alleged domestic violence against his girlfriend Rihanna. He was driven in a Black Escalade and lying in the back seat so the paparazzi wouldn’t snap photos of his journey to jail. Brown, 19, was taken into custody at 6:30 p.m. and was booked for criminal threat at 7:41 p.m. He posted $50,000 bail and was released.

“He turned himself in around 7 p.m. to one of our stations and is being interviewed by detectives now” Officer Karen Smith said.

The violent incident occured Sunday morning near Hancock Park in L.A.

Both Brown and his girlfriend pulled out of Sunday’s Grammy Awards at the last second.
