Chris Brown Has Criminal Charges Against Him Dropped

We're sure he's breathing a sigh of relief right now...

Chris Brown has had criminal charges filed against him dropped, after he was accused of punching a man in Las Vegas.

During a game of basketball on a private court at his hotel, Brown is said to have gotten involved in a 'physical fight'.

"A verbal altercation on the court led to a physical fight and the victim was punched by another male subject who was later identified as 25-year-old recording artist Chris Brown," police said in a news release.

Publicist for the singer, Nicole Perna, said Brown denied being involved in the confrontation.

"Chris is currently in Las Vegas as he is performing at Drai's on May 5th and receiving a Key to the Strip that day as well," Perna said in a statement.

"He has a suite at the hotel that has a basketball court and invited friends to come play. An unruly individual showed up uninvited and was removed from the premises. Chris was not in an altercation with this person."

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department issued a statement saying the victim had told detectives: "He no longer wants to go forward with criminal charges.

"This case will not be pursued any further."

The news comes just months after Brown's five-year probation period ended, after he pleaded guilty to assault during a fight with then-girlfriend Rihanna in 2009.
