Singer Ray J was arrested on Thanksgiving Day following allegations that he brandished a firearm in a threatening manner toward his estranged wife, Princess Love. The incident occurred in Los Angeles, where authorities confirmed that the 44-year-old musician, born Willie Norwood, was taken into custody and subsequently booked at the Los Angeles Police Department’s Valley Jail Section in Van Nuys. He was released hours later after posting a ,000 bond.
