The Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Department said the 29-year-old Brown was arrested on an outstanding warrant from 2017 out of Hillsborough County on a felony charge. The warrant was issued in relation to an alleged attack at a Tampa nightclub last year. The singer was in the DJ booth when he allegedly attacked a photographer.

The singer was booked but was later released after posting a $2,000 bond.

Brown had just finished a performance at the Coral Sky Amphitheater in West Palm Beach when he was arrested. While he was playing the concert, several officers were already waiting in the wings for him- and took him into custoday as soon as he concluded his performance.
