Police described the woman as Brown’s girlfriend at the time of the incident that happened at about 3:45 p.m. Sept. 18 outside a store on Springdale Road.
The woman told officers that Brown grabbed her by her hair, dragged her to a car, then punched and kicked her in the ribs, according to the incident report. Brown tried to drag the woman into a car by her hair, but bystanders came to her aid, deputies said.
Brown then left the scene, officers said.
