Los Angeles (CNN) -- A Secret Service report on
Chris Brown's alleged assault on a man in Washington on Sunday offers
insight into the singer's possible defense strategy.
The document obtained by
CNN suggests that Brown's bodyguard will take the rap for a man's broken
nose, while lawyers could question the creditability of one of the
police officers who investigated the case.
"I was on the (tour) bus
when I guess someone tried to get on and my bodyguard handled it," Brown
told a Secret Service officer investigating the incident on a sidewalk
in front of the W Hotel just a few blocks from the White House. The
incident happened around 4:25 a.m. Sunday, hours after the singer hosted
a party at a nearby nightclub.
"Christopher Brown
committed no crime," his attorney Danny Onorato said Monday. "We
understand that his security acted to protect Mr. Brown and his
property, as he is authorized to do under District of Columbia law. We
are confident that Mr. Brown will be exonerated of any wrongdoing."

Christopher Hollosy -- who stands 6 feet, 5 inches tall and weighs 240
pounds -- told investigators he punched the man in the face because he
tried to follow Brown into the tour bus. The man was trying to get to
Brown, so he "was just doing his job" as a bodyguard when broke his
nose, he said, according to the report.
Brown's weekend arrest in
the District of Columbia threatens his freedom in California, where he
is serving felony probation for the 2009 domestic violence conviction in
his attack on ex-girlfriend Rihanna.
