Chris Brown was arrested Tuesday following a standoff with police after he was accused of threatening a woman with a gun.

Police arrived at Brown's house after a woman reportedly called 911 from that location asking for help.

The dramatic lead-up to the arrest was documented on the artist's Instagram.

"'Barricaded myself in my house.' Have you seen my house? I'm going to barricade myself in a palace. I'm not coming out. For what? ... When you get the warrant or whatever you need to do you can walk right up in here," Brown said in an Instagram post.
