Chris Brown performed in West Palm Beach, Florida on Thursday night and while he put on quite a show for his fans, it's what they didn't see following the performance that is making headlines. Right after the show ended, Chris was arrested. 

According to Entertainment Tonight, the singer was picked up on an out of county warrant for felony battery out of Hillsborough County. That warrant stems from an incident at a Tampa nightclub where Chris was in the DJ booth and allegedly attacked a photographer. 

Police were at the show and waited for Chris to finish his set before arresting him and putting him in a cruiser. He was released after posting $2,000 bond. Authorities put out a mugshot of the singer and in it, he seems to be taking the arrest seriously

While he looked somber in his mugshot, by the time he got out of jail he was taking it all in stride, going to Instagram to post a photo of himself performing live. The caption features an eye-rolling emoji and read, "What's NEW????" It also says, "Show tomorrow!!!!"

What’s NEW🙄????? Show tomorrow!!!! ❤️
