DETAILS INSIDE
Chris Brown has had his probation revoked in the
Rihanna case, in part because he was present at 2
separate nightclubs when people inside were shot,
and officials are worried about more shootings and
think Chris should serve time behind bars.
Chris showed up for a progress report Thursday, when
the judge told him the probation report presented
multiple problems. First, the report mentions the
shooting last Sunday in San Jose when Chris was on
stage. Five people were injured.
The judge also said the probation report expressed
concern over another shooting at 1OAK during VMA
weekend last August. Again, Chris was on stage and
several people were shot, including Suge Knight. And
the judge said Chris left the county for San Jose
without getting the court's permission, which is a
violation of his probation.
As for why the shootings are an issue, they were
raised in the probation report. The judge noted so far
there's no evidence Chris was criminally involved, but
the probation officer says, "There is also concern that
when he performs or attends at some of his public
events, people will get shot or seriously injured."
The probation officer also notes Chris has been
arrested twice while on probation -- once for assault in
DC and also for throwing a rock at his mom's car in
rehab. And the officer notes Chris was "making
comments about knives and guns during a group
[rehab] meeting."
The probation officer -- who thinks Chris is focusing
too much on his career rather than community service
and rehabilitation -- recommends to the judge that
Chris serve time. The officer says the singer has
shown "a pattern of making choices that are
counterproductive." The judge will hold a formal
hearing March 20. If hizzoner determines Chris
"willfully" violated probation, he could be in big trouble.
The violations are felonies, which means prison is on
the line.
