Once again Chris Brown is in hot water with Johnny Law. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department have named Chris Brown an official suspect in a violent basketball-related brawl, Us Weekly reports.

The alleged incident occurred at the Palms Casino Resort early Monday morning.

"At approximately 3:42 a.m. on May 4, 2015 LVMPD patrol officers responded to Sunrise Hospital to investigate a report of a subject who had been beaten," the statement from authorities read. "Arriving officers made contact with an adult male being treated for non-life threatening injuries sustained as a result of a battery."

Brown allegedly punched the victim while playing a game of basketball. "A verbal altercation on the court led to a physical fight and the victim was punched by another male subject who was later identified as 25-year old recording artist Chris Brown," police told the mag. "The victim prepared to defend himself and was then hit by another male reportedly with Brown."

According to the police, the alleged victim took himself to the hospital.

"Mr. Brown has been given the option of signing a citation for misdemeanor battery, or having the case submitted to the Clark County District Attorney’s Office for prosecution," the statement concluded. "At that time, Mr. Brown would receive a summons to appear in Clark County Justice Court."

It's possible Brown should give up shooting hoops all together. In 2013, a man accused Brown of beating him up during a game at the 24 Hour Fitness in Hollywood. The alleged victim sued the 25-year-old singer.

We just wish Chris Brown would stay home and never leave -- that dude's the worst.
