Chris hiding after posting bond

via (CNN)- "Detectives investigating the alleged domestic violence felony battery booked him for criminal threats," a statement from the Los Angeles Police Department said. "At the time the case is presented to the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, additional charges may be filed."

Brown, 19, posted a $50,000 bond and was released by police at 8:35 p.m. (11:35 p.m. ET). A March 5 court date has been set.

Brown, nominated for two Grammy Awards, was scheduled to perform at the show.His girlfriend, singer Rihanna, abruptly canceled her planned Grammys performance, but neither her spokesman nor the show organizers gave a reason.

"Rihanna is well," her spokesman said in a written statement. "Thank you for concern and support."

WOW! That is all that I can say right now... totally speechless!!!!!!!!!

Chris Brown Physically Abusive to Rihanna?????

The Grammy Awards are no doubt the biggest night for the music industry, which is why it was seriously surprising when both Chris Brown and Rihanna failed to show up for their scheduled performances. A publicist for Brown declined to comment, but the Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that the 19-year-old singer was under investigation for felony domestic battery stemming from an incident the night before. Brown and a female companion (Rihanna) allegedly got into a disagreement after attending Clive Davis' annual Pre-Grammy Bash. The argument apparently got out of hand and police told E! News that "the woman suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker." The identity of the woman has not been released, but E! News reports that unknown sources have identified Rihanna as the alleged victim. A representative for Rihanna told E! that the singer was in a traffic mishap and is fine, but would not be attending the Grammy Awards. LAPD is apparently searching for Brown, telling E!: When we can find him we will take him into custody for questioning," says Officer Karen Smith, an LAPD spokeswoman. "If there is probable cause for an arrest, then he will be arrested."

This is so disheartening. Noone wants to think Chris Brown is a woman beater. This could very much end his career. Who wants to support a woman beater? I know if its true, I sure won't cause I love me some Rihanna!!! Stay tuned...
