Pap Casualty via Chris Brown’s Security

A photographer working for a Florida newspaper is claiming that he was beaten up and robbed earlier this week by R&B singer Chris Brown’s bodyguards. Luis Santana says that he was at a lounge in St. Petersburg, Florida, where Chris and rumored girlfriend Rihanna was having a private birthday party. According to the Tampa Bay Times, Santana was told by the venue’s security that he can take photos outside. But when he took a snap of Chris in an SUV, he claims that the singer’s bodyguards chased him down and forced him to the ground with one of the guards putting his knee on Santana’s jaw and took his $3,000 camera. Police are currently investigating the matter.
