Chris Brown had another run-in with the police yesterday. Ok, ok, so considering his past record, it was pretty minor. Police in Beverly Hills pulled Brown over for speeding, according to TMZ. Officers ticketed the singer for going 60 mph in a 35 mph zone.
Brown will likely be meeting with police again. Frank Ocean said he wants to press charges against Brown after the two got into a brawl at the Westlake Recording Studios this week. Brown allegedly threw a punch after Ocean refused to shake Brown's hand.
Brown is eager to tell police his side of the story, according to TMZ.
