James Brown's daughter Venisha Brown was arrested in Georgia on Tuesday (July 24), and charged with possession of a stolen vehicle, leaving the scene of an accident and first-degree assault and battery.

Venisha Brown's supervisor, Hope Campbell, 46, called police on Monday morning (July 23), after allegedly spotting Brown driving her Chevrolet Suburban, which had been stolen the day prior.

According to the police report, Campbell attempted to retrieve the SUV's keys by reaching into the vehicle, but Brown drove away, dragging Campbell's body, as she fled the scene.
