C*caine Found In Chris Brown’s Hotel Room ‘Not His’ – Lawyer.

French police probing rape claims against American R&B star
Chris Brown found cocaine and cannabis in his Paris hotel suite,
his lawyer said Wednesday while denying that the cocaine belonged
to the singer.

Brown’s French lawyer, Raphael Chiche, confirmed that the
29-year-old was found in possession of cannabis during his arrest
at the luxury Mandarin Oriental hotel on Monday night over claims
that he assaulted a woman a week earlier.

But the Grammy Award-winning singer had a note from his American
doctor covering his use of the drug for medicinal purposes, Chiche
said.

The cocaine found “was not his” and “belonged to those who had
come to party in his suite on the night of January 20-21,” the
lawyer added.

Brown, his bodyguard and a friend were arrested after a
25-year-old woman accused them of raping her in the Mandarin
Oriental, where he was staying while attending shows during men’s
fashion week in the French capital.

After being held for 24 hours the three were released without
charge on Tuesday night.

Chiche said his client wanted to bring a defamation lawsuit.

“He says he had no sexual relations of any sort with the
complainant,” Chiche said.

The singer, who denies the allegations, posted a picture on his
Instagram account after his release that read “This B!tch
Lyin’”.

“I WANNA MAKE IT PERFECTLY CLEAR…… THIS IS FALSE AND A WHOLE LOT
OF CAP! (sic),” he posted next to the picture.

Still Under Investigation

The prosecutor’s office said the three men were still under
investigation on suspicion of aggravated rape and a drugs
offence.

The alleged victim told police she met Brown in a nightclub near
the Champs-Elysees avenue with a group of other women on the night
of January 15.

She then agreed to go back to the singer’s hotel, on the glitzy
boutique-lined Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honore.

Chiche said that his client was now free to return to the United
States but would continue to cooperate with investigators and “will
come back if he has to”.

Brown has been in the news more for his legal troubles than his
hit releases in recent years.

In 2009 he was convicted of beating fellow singer Rihanna, his
girlfriend at the time, who was forced to miss the Grammy Awards
because of her injuries.

Brown was sentenced to five years’ probation and six months of
community service for the assault.

In 2014 he pleaded guilty to assaulting a fan in Washington and
two years later he was arrested and charged with assault with a
deadly weapon following a standoff with Los Angeles police
officers.

He is best known for his hits in the mid-2000s such as “Kiss,
Kiss” and “Run It”.
