WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- The Chris Brown craziness continues in D.C.
Some rank and file deputy U.S. Marshals are saying the chaos outside the courthouse during the celebrity singer's appearance on an assault charge was an "embarrassment" and a "debacle" for the Marshal's Service.
One marshal got physical with a reporter and photographer. The Marshals Service is now conducting an after action review.
It was a perhaps unprecedented show of force by deputy marshals outside Superior Court. A phalanx of armed deputies in plain clothes and in military-style garb, some with their faces covered, converged to escort a celebrity accused of assault across a public sidewalk. "Get back. Go back," one yelled.
Sources say it's a deputy marshal named Aaron Ward who shoved NBC4's Mark Seagraves once... and then came back and wrapped his arm around Seagraves and pushed him again. "Get back, don't follow him!" Ward screamed as he manhandled Seagraves.
