Police reportedly took a battery report and Chris was named the suspect, the outlet noted. Sources shared no other injuries were reported. Another report claimed police responded to a call in San Fernando Valley for reports of an argument and that it was being investigated as a battery, NBC News reported at the time. He was never arrested following the battery report.
The singer’s past legal trouble includes being arrested after physically assaulting his girlfriend at the time, superstar singer Rihanna. In 2009, he pleaded guilty to felony assault in the case and served years of probation.
