Chris Brown being held for alleged attack on Rihanna; both cancel
LOS ANGELES - Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ unorthodox partnership yielded rich rewards on Grammy night, as the pair nabbed five Grammys for their haunting CD “Raising Sand,” including record and album of the year honors.
But their Grammy sweep was overshadowed by the shocking arrest of another nominee as the broadcast was taking place — teen heartthrob Chris Brown, who was in police custody for an alleged felony assault on an unidentified woman the night before. The L.A. Times reported that the woman was his girlfriend, pop singer Rihanna, and the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported that Rihanna was "reportedly hospitalized with bruises on her face."
Police records showed Brown was being held on $50,000 bail. Police booked the 19-year-old R&B singer and dancer on suspicion of making a criminal threat, a felony. Police did not explain how their initial report of an injury assault related to the charge, but it will ultimately be up to the district attorney’s office to decide what charges, if any, should be brought against Brown.
