According to reports, Brown refused to pay the $4,000 fee and got into a verbal altercation with the driver. When the driver attempted to leave, Brown allegedly picked up a rock and threw it at the truck, damaging the vehicle, before taking the driver’s keys out the ignition. The driver called the police and accused the football player being under the influence drugs as Brown allegedly assaulted the driver before damaging items in the truck.
