It is unclear exactly what the battery charge is related to.

Brown was taken to the Palm Beach County Jail and was then released on a $2,000 bond, CBS News reported. The warrant was issued by the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office, located about 150 miles northwest of Palm Beach.

Brown has previously faced a felony conviction for assaulting his then girlfriend Rihanna in 2009 and was charged with misdemeanor assault in Washington D.C. in 2013. He was arrested at his home in Los Angeles in 2016 for alleged assault with a deadly weapon.
