R&B singer Chris Brown was released late Sunday evening after surrendering to Los Angeles Police Department officials.
As previously reported on Singersroom, Brown, who was due to perform at Sunday's Grammy Awards, had been involved in an early morning domestic situation that resulted in a felony battery charge.
"He turned himself in around 7 p.m. to one of our stations," officer Karen Smith told PEOPLE late Sunday.
According to our sources, Brown had been released by 9:30pm PT on $50,000 bail after being charged with making criminal threats. The District Attorney's office is currently evaluating other charges.
Both Brown and Rihanna were no shows at Sunday's Grammys where they were nominated.
Rihanna had been scheduled to perform the hit single "Disturbia" at the Grammys, but canceled just before the show, the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences said in a statement.
"We have just been informed that Rihanna will not be attending tonight's 51st Annual Grammy Awards. We're sorry she is unable to join us," the academy said. There was no further explanation for her absence.
Both cancellations created what is rumored to be at least a 10-15 minute gap for Grammy organizers who quickly scrambled to fill the performance slots.Boyz II Men, Al Green, Keith Urban and Justin Timberlake were among those who filled in the gap, unbeknownst to viewers and much of the audience in attendance.
News of Chris Brown's situation originally broke Sunday afternoon (ET).
