In dispatch audio obtained by TMZ … authorities are heard dispatching officers to his Tarzana address and describing what the suspect was wearing at the time of the incident.
We’re told when officers arrived on scene, they interviewed both parties involved … adding the male suspect told police the woman refused to leave the area, leading to an argument breaking out.
The suspect allegedly claimed the situation escalated when the woman drove her vehicle over his foot, after which he fired shots at her car.
LE sources say the male suspect was taken into custody at the scene and arrested for assault with a deadly weapon and vandalism.
LAPD PIO tells TMZ … the weapon used was a CO2 style weapon and the male arrested was not Chris Brown. It is assumed he was not home at the time, nor did this incident involve him at all.
Officials also note the shooting did not take place inside the residence or on the actual property, but rather on the street outside the home.
We’ve reached out to reps for Chris Brown … so far, no word back.
