Corporal Kurtis Young of Fulton County Police Department yesterday told reporters they were called to Brown's home on Sunday night after Houston reported a domestic dispute. "Ms Houston called and stated her address and asked for someone to be sent out, but did not identify herself. She wasn't hysterical or anything, she was very calm."

Houston told police she and Brown had an argument that escalated into a physical confrontation in which Brown hit the singer on the left side of her face leaving her with a bruised cheek and a cut on the inside of her upper lip. It seems Brown then left the family home and caught a flight to LA before police arrived on the scene. It is unclear whether the West Coast trip was pre planned, but police there have now been told the singer is required for questioning.

Young added that because the incident under investigation is classified as an alleged act of domestic violence, officials could file charges against Brown whether or not Houston chooses to file charges herself.
