Chris Brown accused of punching a woman in the face while at a party in Las Vegas

Chris Brown has found himself in the middle of yet another police investigation after a recent party at the Palms Hotel in Vegas. Early Saturday morning, a nasty altercation occurred between Chris and a female partygoer.

The woman claims Chris Brown punched her in the right eye after losing his cool when he found out she snuck her cell phone into the party and took a picture of him.

According to TMZ, Brown began yelling at the victim before striking her in the face. After the incident, the woman left the party and called the cops.

Police are currently investigating the situation, and Chris Brown has been named as the suspect.

Back in May, Brown made headlines when he was accused of assault and battery for punching a man during a late-night basketball game. Interestingly, the fight also took place at the Palms in Las Vegas.

This is at the least the ninth time that Brown has been in trouble with the law in some form or another in the past three years.

Despite his legal troubles, Brown continues to sell more and more records.

His most recent release, Royalty, debuted at the number one spot on December 24th on the R&B/Hip-Hop chart making it his sixth #1. Royalty is also ranked #3 on the Billboard 200.
