Police are no strangers to Brown's Tarzana property. They have been called repeatedly to mediate noise complaints at the home. He was the victim of a home-invasion robbery in 2015. In 2016, he engaged in a daylong standoff with police, who eventually arrested him on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon. In 2018, police seized an illegal pet monkey from the house. In 2019, Brown advertised a massive yard sale at his house drawing fans from around Southern California along with LAPD officers, who unsuccessfully sought to shut it down for lack of a permit.
