Chris Brown is no longer charged with misdemeanor battery after this weekend's fight.

Yesterday, we got word that Chris Brown was being charged with misdemeanor battery after allegedly punching someone during a basketball game over the weekend, but today, charges have been dropped.

This comes after his publicist issued the following statement to CNN

"Chris is currently in Las Vegas as he is performing at Drai's on May 5th and receiving a Key to the Strip that day as well," Perna said in a statement. "He has a suite at the hotel that has a basketball court and invited friends to come play. An unruly individual showed up uninvited and was removed from the premises. Chris was not in an altercation with this person."

Now TMZ is saying that the case is closed after the accuser called the police saying he wanted all charges dropped. No other information has been shared at this time.
