Police told the Times that they had been summoned to a home and witnessed a verbal argument they feared could turn violent.
The Times said an attorney had not yet been assigned to represent Brown.
Brown, best known for the Disney Channel series “That's So Raven," has had numerous legal and other personal troubles, including charges of domestic battery, resisting arrest and drug possession.
