The officer reportedly smelled alcohol and gave the singer a field sobriety test, which he was said to have failed.
Brown was promptly taken into custody and booked at a nearby police station.
As well as the DUI charge, the star has been charged with driving on a restricted license and driving a vehicle without a vehicle interlock device, according to TMZ.
As a result of this, he could face up to two years in prison if convicted.
The incident in the San Fernando Valley section of L.A. is Brown's second DUI arrest this year.
In March, he was busted for driving under the influence in the same part of town.
