According to his brother, Matthew, his house had been undergoing renovation but he allowed Brown to stay at his place for about two weeks since the latter had no residence of his own. The victim then claimed that Brown had been acting “crazy.” The actor from That’s So Raven allegedly even threatened the victim with a hammer along with a “broken-off knife blade.”
The victim stated that no harm was carried out by Brown as he eventually put the weapons in question down. However, as per reports, the former is still planning on pressing charges against his brother.
Brown, 35, is currently incarcerated at the Allen County Sherriff’s Office.

Orlando Brown from That’s So Raven has been charged with drug possession on more than one occasion and was even arrested for giving death threats back in 2014. In fact, he has himself been vocal about the former and has opened up about his battle with drug abuse during various instances. Yet another one of his legal troubles occurred in 2018, in Las Vegas when he was arrested on an outstanding warrant.
While this recent case might not be his first rodeo, Brown’s concerning history with law enforcement might just act against him this time.
