The singer's name is listed on an event report obtained by FOX411. A police department rep refused to comment further.
Brown addressed the arrests on Facebook.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I attended a private gathering at a Miami-area hotel and had only been there for a short time when police officers arrived and arrested two people in the room who had just showed up a few minutes before. I did not know these people and had no idea that there were drugs in their possession," Brown wrote. "I cooperated fully with the authorities and am not part of any ongoing police investigation. Everyone is responsible for their actions, and I regret using poor judgment and putting myself in that position."
TMZ cites sources who claim police were so star struck by Brown that they agreed to leave his name out of the proceedings because he has a wife and five kids. The gossip site also says one officer asked Brown for his autograph and mocked a stripper for not knowing he was famous.
Brown was in town to attend a charity auction at Barrett-Jackson.
