No charges for Chris Brown over incident in Las Vegas just after New Year
- Published
Chris Brown won't face any charges over an incident which it was claimed took place in Las Vegas just after New Year.
Brazilian model Liziane Gutierrez said the R&B singer had assaulted her in a room at the Palms Casino Resort and had her mobile phone taken off her.
But police say there's not enough evidence to bring charges of misdemeanour battery and theft.
At the time Chris Brown said the woman's story was "unequivocally untrue" and a fabrication.
The singer, 26, was in Las Vegas after performing on New Year's Eve at a nightclub.

The woman had complained that Brown hit her and took her phone when she tried to take his photo during a private party.
A statement released by Chris Brown's publicist earlier this month said: ""[She] was escorted out of the private after party at the Palms Casino Resort for being disruptive and out of control.
"Once she was in the hallway, while waiting for Chris Brown's security to bring out her phone, she had a total meltdown - throwing her purse to the ground and claiming that she 'could buy everyone in the hotel' - as witnessed by numerous people waiting to get into the party.
"The Palms Casino Resort security also saw her wild behaviour via hotel security cameras and immediately came up to the hallway to escort her out of the hotel.
"Her claim that she had her phone in her possession inside the after party and was able to take a photo causing an altercation with Chris Brown is a complete fabrication."
Chris Brown also had charges dropped last year after he was accused of punching a man during a game of basketball on a private court at a Las Vegas hotel.
The star finished five years of probation in 2015 after pleading guilty to attacking his then-girlfriend Rihanna in Los Angeles in 2009.
