Dr. Dre cited on gun charge following dispute in his Malibu driveway
MALIBU, Calif. -- Dr. Dre has been cited after a man says the rapper pointed a handgun at him.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department says the man told them he was parked outside a Malibu, California, home when Dre ordered him to leave and allegedly showed a gun.
Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, told sheriff's deputies he didn't have a gun and that the man was blocking his driveway.
Sources close to the Beats by Dre mogul tell TMZ that when Dre took out his phone and began filming the interaction, the motorist said, "Here we go again. Another black guy with a gun" and then called 911 and told police someone had pulled a gun on him.
Dre was briefly handcuffed while deputies investigated. No weapon was found at the scene, but deputies say the man initiated a citizen's arrest for misdemeanor brandishing of a firearm. Paperwork on the citizen's arrest will go to the district attorney, who will decide whether or not to press charges.
A representative for Dre didn't immediately return a request for comment.
