James Brown released from jail
James Brown was released from jail on a domestic violence charge Thursday and denied accusations he pushed his wife to the floor and threatened her with a chair.
The 70-year-old Godfather of Soul had been arrested the previous day at the couple's Beech Island home, and a widely circulated booking mug showed him wearing a bathrobe with his normally coifed hair in a mess.
"The main thing is I would never hurt my wife and beat up on her like that," Brown said after leaving the jail dressed in a red and black pinstriped suit and a black cowboy hat. "I love her very much."
According to a sheriff's report, Brown pushed 33-year-old Tomi Rae Brown to the floor during an argument in a bedroom and threatened to kill her while holding a chair over her. She had scratches and bruises to her right arm and hip and was taken to an Augusta, Ga., hospital, Aiken County deputies said.
During a 911 call Wednesday, the couple can be heard arguing before Tomi Rae Brown tells the dispatcher she needs an ambulance.
