His world may be in upheaval, but Chris Brown is holed up in a Hollywood hotel, keeping quiet.
While information continues to trickle out about what was apparently an ugly dispute between the R&B star and his girlfriend, Rihanna, one of his major sponsors, gum maker Wrigley, is distancing itself from the 19-year-old 'Forever' singer.
Although the Los Angeles Police Department issued a statement Sunday night saying Brown had been arrested on suspicion of making criminal threats and could face additional charges now that the case had been forwarded to the district attorney, prosecutors tell E! News that the announcement was premature and the investigation is ongoing.
'LAPD are telling some reporters that we received the evidence but we have not received anything yet,' says Jane Robison, spokeswoman for the county district attorney. 'Normally it would come in today, maybe this afternoon, but no, they haven't presented it and I don't know when they will.'
Robison says that the probe is still continuing—unusual for such cases—as detectives want to make sure they do a thorough job given that a celebrity is involved.
Brown's camp, including newly hired criminal attorney Mark Geragos, has remained mum on the incident.
