Cop In Chris Brown DC Assault Case Faces Internal Affairs Probe

A cop in the nation’s capital is feeling some blowback over Breezy.

The unidentified officer responded to the scene of singer Chris Brown’s alleged fistfight in Washington, D.C., last October and now is the subject of an internal affairs probe, The Associated Press reported.

The probe centers on a disputed conversation between the officer and a Brown acquaintance after Brown allegedly punched Parker Adams, 20, outside a W Hotel.

A police report the Daily News obtained describes the disputed conversation and suggests the Metropolitan Police Department officer may have lied to a detective colleague.

The report states the Brown buddy told detectives who arrived later to the scene that the cop in question initially said Adams had exonerated Brown.

When a detective interviewed the cop, the cop denied ever speaking with the Brown pal, the report said.

A uniformed Secret Service officer later approached detectives and said he overheard the MPD officer talk to the Brown acquaintance and make the claim, according to the report.

“Obviously we welcome the inquiry,” Brown’s prominent defense lawyer, Mark Geragos, told The News on Friday. “As I suspected from the beginning, there was something terribly wrong with the way this was handled.”

The accuser, meanwhile, backed up the MCD officer’s story and said he identified Brown as his assailant.

“We are aware of the discrepancy among witness statements in the Chris Brown case. This is not uncommon in cases with multiple witnesses involved. We have received no complaint of misconduct on the part of any officer in this matter,” Police Chief Cathy Lanier said in a written statement to the AP.

“Nobody has accused anybody of lying. One person says one thing, one person says something else. Nobody has made an allegation that an officer is lying,” Lanier told the AP.

The head of the police officers’ union said he had not been made aware of the investigation.

Brown, 24, was hauled off to the pokey Oct. 27 after Adams claimed the petulant performer and his bodyguard punched him during a sidewalk smackdown that erupted just blocks from the White House.

Adams had blood on his face and shirt when officers arrived and was treated at a hospital for a fractured nasal bone, the police report said.

He told cops the melee broke out when he tried to crash a fan photo Brown was taking with his female friend and another person.




“I ain’t down with that gay s---,” Brown allegedly snapped, according to Adams.


Brown pleaded not guilty and faces up to 180 days in jail if convicted.

He was in back in a Washington, D.C., courtroom last week and rejected a plea deal from prosecutors that did not lower the initial charge of simple assault.

“It was rejected because he’s not guilty,” Geragos told The News.

Brown is currently undergoing court-ordered anger-management rehab in southern California after the judge on his Rihanna assault case reviewed the Washington police report and revoked his probation last month.
