A man was arrested at Chris Brown's Tarzana home on Wednesday evening after allegedly jumping a fence onto the property and attempting to light a fire. Per TMZ, police were called to the residence just before 7 p.m. PT on Wednesday, May 13. The suspect was first spotted at Brown's gate trying to get inside before hopping the fence and making it onto the grounds.

Someone at the residence made contact with the man before officers arrived and took him into custody. The caller told police they recognized the individual and said he had been an ongoing problem. The suspect was booked on a trespassing charge and a trespass report was completed, according to TMZ. His identity has not been released.

The incident marks the second alleged security event at Brown's home in recent weeks. In the earlier incident, a security guard allegedly fired a CO2-style gun following an argument with a woman who, according to sources, ran over his foot with her car. Brown was home but had no involvement.

In other news, Chris Brown’s recently released Brown album is projected to debut at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. The album was met with mixed reviews upon release, including a scathing 1.3 rating from Pitchfork.
