Chris Brown may have gotten lucky because the charge he was booked on is kinda weak, law enforcement sources tell TMZ. But he's still in big trouble, and Rihanna says it's not the first time he's attacked her.
Sources say the Los Angeles County District Attorney kicked the case back to the police for further investigation because evidence that he made criminal threats against Rihanna is kind of thin. Our sources are quick to say he will, however, almost certainly be charged with felony domestic battery, a lesser offense but still serious.
Here's how it went down, according to the police report. After Chris received a text message from a woman who wrote about getting together, an argument erupted. By the way, initially, Rihanna would not tell cops what started the argument.
She did, however, tell them that during the argument, he started hitting her. According to the police report, she ordered him to drive her home and "faked a call" to someone, saying things like, "He's dropping me off. Make sure the cops are there."
Rihanna told cops the fake call enraged Brown. He said something to the effect of "You are really fu**ed up now. I'm going to kill you." This statement is the basis of the criminal threats charge.
At that point, according to the report, Brown allegedly began a violent attack with his fists. At some point, Rihanna took the keys out of the ignition and threw them outside.
And there's this. According to the police report, she told cops this was not the first time Brown hit her. She referred to it as an ongoing and escalating abusive relationship.
We're told the criminal threats charge is based on that one statement Brown allegedly made. As one law enforcement source told us, "It's kinda weak, and the D.A. is not going to prosecute a high profile case like this unless it's solid." That's why it was kicked back for further investigation.
Given the brutal nature of the attack, which the photos clearly show -- contusions on the face, swollen eyes, cut lip, bloody nose, bite marks on fingers and arm -- a felony domestic battery charge is virtually a done deal. That, however, is a less serious offense than making criminal threats.

TMZ has obtained photos of Chris Brown's rented Lamborghini at the police impound yesterday -- and it appears to have been dusted for fingerprints.
We're told the black dirt all over the car is residue from when the cops searched it for fingerprints. Brown reportedly abandoned the Lamborghini after his alleged altercation with Rihanna on Sunday morning.

That ridiculously awesome piece of evidence sitting in a police impound lot is running Chris Brown a cool $2k-per-day.
Chris rented the silver Lamborghini (in which he allegedly fought with Rihanna) from an exotic car boutique in L.A. called Platinum Motorsport -- and until he can get the car back to the business, Chris is gonna have to foot the bill.
Currently, the car is behind a chain-link fence with no official ETA on when it will be released.

This is a photo of Chris Brown and Rihanna 30 minutes before he allegedly fought with her in this car.
This shot was taken as the couple left Clive Davis' Grammy party in Beverly Hills just after midnight on Sunday morning.
One interesting thing -- they overshot their hotel by miles, ending up in Hancock Park, miles east of their West Hollywood hotel. We don't know where they were heading.

It appears this is the silver rental Lamborghini Chris Brown had driven the night of the alleged incident. We're told cops towed a vehicle from the scene at Hancock Park to a nearby police impound lot, where it still remains behind a chain-link fence.

While Rihanna waited in the car, Chris Brown pumped gas into his rented silver Lamborghini Friday night -- the same vehicle in which Brown allegedly went ballistic on a woman (identified by the L.A. Times as Rihanna) the following evening.
Brown turned himself around 7:00 PM last night and was released shortly after on $50,000 bail. The vehicle is currently sitting in an impound lot.

A dolled up Lindsay Lohan dined with Britney's fake impregnator J.R. Rotem last night at Katsuya -- as Lohan is looking to revive her illustrious singing career. The wait is over!
Upon exit, Lindsay covered her face while J.R. helped her into his super awesome Lamborghini -- but she couldn't resist dropping the mask and giving the paps a couple of shots for the road. Cheese!
