Dr. Dre was cited by police Monday after a man said the rapper pointed a handgun at him. The Los Angeles County sheriff's office said the man told authorities that he was parked outside a Malibu, Calif., home when Dre ordered him to leave and showed a gun. Dre, whose real name is Andre Young, told sheriff's deputies that he didn't have a gun and that the man was blocking his driveway. He said the man moved his car but parked nearby, adding the man finally drove off after Dre recorded video of him. Dre was briefly handcuffed while deputies investigated. No weapon was found at the scene, but deputies said the man initiated a citizen's arrest on a misdemeanor of brandishing a firearm. A representative for Dre didn't immediately return a request for comment.
