(UPDATE) Judge Revokes Chris Brown’s Probation + Chris Reacts on Twitter
As you’ll recall, this San Jose appearance, was when a shooting at the club injured five people, but there were no indications that Brown was involved in the attack. Still, the judge ordered probation officials to investigate the shooting and whether there were any issues involving Brown.
Defense attorney Mark Geragos told Brandlin that his office incorrectly advised Brown that he didn’t need permission to travel for the show.
The judge said he accepted Geragos’ explanation, but needed to revoke the singer’s probation to keep control of the case. Brandlin also said it was not unexpected that Brown failed to complete his community service on time.
Brown was supposed to complete 1,000 hours of community labor by the end of January but has roughly 200 hours left, Brandlin said.
As previously reported, Brown has been on probation for his 2009 attack on pop singer Rihanna, his then girlfriend. He was required to complete the community service before the end of January.
Despite revoking his probation, the judge said Brown had been making steady progress on the community service aspect of his sentence that requires him to perform manual work such as roadside cleanup or graffiti removal. Chris nor his girlfriend Karrueche Tran (who appeared in court with him), have yet to comment on social media.
UPDATE #2: Chris tweeted the following message:
Nothing can stop what God has planned. Surround yourself with elevators! It’s almost over… Keeping pushing forward and don’t break!
