Chris Brown Released Without Bail, Charges Reduced

Chris Brown was released without bail after allegedly punching a fan outside a hotel in D.C. The assault charge has been reduced from a  felony to a misdemeanor assault and the singer pled not guilty.

Law enforcement sources told TMZ … the fight started when the man and his friend photobombed Chris, who was posing for a picture with two girls.

Sources close to Chris insist the fight wasn’t over a photo — they say the alleged victim tried to force his way onto Chris’ tour bus, and Chris was merely trying to stop a trespass.
