Brown is charged with four counts of indecent assault and battery, two counts of assault and battery and impersonating a police officer.
According to court documents, Brown asked a woman to strip for him so he could search her for weapons. She got away and called police, who have video of Brown following the woman. The video also shows the assault, according to a police report.
