Chris Brown Thrown in Jail for Attacking Music Producer in London Nightclub; Know What He's Charged With
Chris Brown has been charged with intent to cause Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH) regarding a 2023 London nightclub altercation. On May 16, at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester, the Metropolitan Police officers arrested him.
Authorities verified that he is still in custody. The Crown Prosecution Service, a government agency that supervises criminal prosecutions, confirmed on May 15 in a press release.
"The Crown Prosecution Service reminds all concerned that criminal proceedings against this defendant are active and that he has the right to a fair trial. It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary, or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings," the agency said, per USA Today.
This case mirrors Brown 's October 2023 row with music producer Amadou "Abe" Diaw. Diaw accused Brown of "beating him over the head" with a tequila bottle. The incident occurred at a London nightclub.
Diaw's lawsuit documents, obtained by the outlet, shed more light on the incident: 'As (Diaw) lay unconscious on the floor, Brown continued to ruthlessly stomp on the defenseless (Diaw) for approximately 30 seconds. (Diaw) ended up in the hospital with lacerations on his head and torn ligaments in his leg."
Though more information regarding the claimed victim or type of wounds has not yet been made public, the case is likely to gain wide exposure. Brown's management has not yet made a public statement regarding the case.
Brown rose to fame in 2005 with his first album. He's famous for hit singles such as Run It!, No Air featuring Jordin Sparks. He has dropped 11 studio albums and hundreds of singles throughout the years.
He's also famous for his ex-relationship with pop singer Rihanna and several legal problems along the way. He will be appearing at Manchester Magistrates' Court on May 16.
Chris Brown's latest court appearance will likely attract significant attention during the trial.

UK couple reclaims stolen car from thieves after police say they're too busy
A UK-based couple was in for a shock earlier this month when their Jaguar E-Pace was stolen from outside their home in Brook Green, west London. Fortunately, the car was fitted with both a ghost immobiliser and an AirTag tracker, two security measures that would prove crucial when the police, they said, simply didn't show spotting their vehicle's new location in Chiswick via the AirTag, Mia Forbes Pirie and her partner Mark Simpson alerted the police. But the response wasn't exactly swift. The 999 operator reportedly told them that officers were too busy and couldn't confirm when, or if, they'd of waiting, Pirie and Simpson drove to the location themselves. They found the car dumped on a quiet backstreet, stripped inside with carpets pulled up and wiring exposed. But it was still there. And they took it back. Pirie later shared their experience in a candid LinkedIn post, saying, 'It was kind of fun stealing back our own car.' But fun aside, she raised a sharper point: should they really have had to do this alone?In her words, 'It makes me wonder whether it's right that the police seem to have no interest in investigating what is likely to have been a reasonably sophisticated operation involving a flat bed truck if there are no consequences, what's the incentive for people not to do more of this?'Take a look at the post here: advertisementThe Metropolitan Police got in touch only after the couple recovered the car. According to reports, a forensic team is now expected to examine it for prints, though Pirie pointed out the delay might've compromised any useful evidence. 'Lots of people have touched the car. It wouldn't have cost very much for them to tell us not to touch anything. That's the one criticism I have,' she told The concern, however, isn't just personal. 'The police are under-resourced, and it's a shame,' she said, adding, 'But if there aren't any consequences of people stealing cars or other crimes, then I don't really see what the deterrent is.'Pirie's message was clear: citizens shouldn't have to double as detectives. While their determination paid off, their story also called attention to a wider problem, one that demands more than just ghost immobilisers and AirTags to Reel

UK Couple Steals Back Their Own Car From Thieves As Police Were Too Busy
Quick Read Summary is AI generated, newsroom reviewed. A couple in the UK recovered their stolen car after police were unable to respond. Their Jaguar E-Pace was stolen from their home in Brook Green, west London. The vehicle had a ghost immobiliser and AirTag locator, aiding in its recovery. A couple in the United Kingdom turned detective and stole back their own car as the police were too busy and failed to act. The Times reported. The couple, Mia Forbes Pirie and Mark Simpson discovered that their Jaguar E-Pace had been stolen earlier this month from their home in Brook Green, west London. The vehicle was installed with a ghost immobiliser fitted, which is a type of immobiliser that uses a unique code to prevent thieves from starting the car. The car also had an AirTag locator. The couple tracked the car to Chiswick, but when they informed the police, they said they were too busy to probe. The police reportedly told them that they were unsure when they would be able to investigate when they spoke to a 999 operator. The car was first reported as missing on June 4, as the AirTag indicated the vehicle was parked outside their home at around 3:20 am (local time). In the next update, the car was in Chiswick at 10.30 am (local time). The couple rushed to that place even in the absence of the police. The car was found on a quiet back street. Its interior and carpets were ripped apart by the thieves as it looked they were trying to access its wiring. "Police seem to have no interest": Pirie In a LinkedIn post, Pirie said that "it was kind of fun stealing back our own car." "But it does make me wonder whether we should have had to do that. And not whether it's normal, but whether it's right that the police seem to have no interest in investigating what is likely to have been a reasonably sophisticated operation involving a flat bed truck... if there are no consequences, what is the incentive for people not to do more of this?" she added. The Metropolitan Police reportedly responded after the couple rescued their car and said it would be in touch, with a forensic team set to arrive this week. Speaking to The Times, Pirie said: "Since we've found it, lots of people have touched the car and the police say that they're going to look underneath the carpets and at the fuse box to see if there are prints there." She further said that "it wouldn't have cost very much for them to tell us not to touch anything. That's the one criticism I have". "The police are under-resourced and it's a shame. But if there aren't any consequences to people stealing cars or a lot of the other crimes where there aren't any consequences, then I don't really see what the deterrent is to stop people from doing it more," she said.
