Los Angeles police arrested Chris Brown on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon after a standoff with police, the Associated Press reported.

The singer emerged from his home Tuesday afternoon after police served a search warrant, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Police earlier retrieved a gun and other weapons and drugs from Chris Brown's Los Angeles home, TMZ reported.

Brown has reportedly been under investigation since a woman called the police and claimed that he threatened her with a gun inside his home early on Tuesday morning.

According to TMZ, the woman was one of several house guests in Brown's home. She reportedly had an argument with the singer before, she alleges, Brown pulled a gun on her.

The LAPD had been outside Brown's home since 3 a.m. and were waiting for him to surrender. The police reportedly obtained Brown's aforementioned weapons and drugs when the singer threw the items out of his window in a duffel bag.

A Fox News affiliate in Los Angeles was live-streaming video of the scene outside Brown's home:

Brown has responded to the incident in several videos on social media, in which he has variously claimed his innocence, ranted against the police and the media's portrayal of him, and promoted his music.
