LOS ANGELES: An attorney for Chris Brown said Friday that a woman who has accused the R&B singer of pointing a gun at her was clearly bent on setting him up and that police found no weapons at the singer’s home.
Lawyer Mark Geragos told reporters that 25-year-old Baylee Curran became “irate” and called police early Tuesday after she was asked to leave the singer’s Los Angeles home “because she was acting in an erratic manner.”
“I know that some people find it hard to believe that people in this day and age may lie for certain ulterior motives,” Geragos said. “But it is interesting to me that when somebody has an incident that supposedly you are frightened to death and you’re scared, that the first place you go is to the (gossip website) TMZ, as opposed to the hospital, your psychiatrist or maybe even your lawyer.”
Curran claimed that the “Kiss Kiss” singer became angry and pointed a gun at her after she admired a diamond necklace worn by another man attending a party at the singer’s house.
Brown was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon following a day-long standoff with police at his palatial estate. He was released late Tuesday night after posting $250,000 bail.
