On Thursday morning, Brown was arrested in Manchester, England on a charge of causing grievous bodily harm in connection to the incident where the singer allegedly beat a music producer Amadou “Abe” Diaw with a tequila bottle and then stomped on him, resulting in a hospitalization and, later, a $16 million lawsuit related to the attack.

Despite Brown’s lawyer arguing that Brown wasn’t a flight risk, Judge Joanne Hirst rejected his bail request at a hearing Friday and ordered that he remain in custody until his next hearing on June 13 in London.
